Built from the Fine Woodworking getting started series. I really didn't know what I was doing  but had been reading the magazine for a few years and thought I'd finally start. I owned a table saw, skil saw and a drill. I bought a couple of planes and sharpening equipment and got started. It was certainly more than a weekend project for me! I made a couple of changes to the plan with vises and that gave me even more opportunity for learning, of which there was plenty. Now to produce a few things for the house.
