Hello and welcome to my Wood Blog.  My name is Jim Sharman and I started woodworking about 4 years ago.  Most of the things I have built so far have been small items and a few jigs.  Most of my woodworking has concentrated on reading magazines and books and trying different things to learn as much as I can.  I took a few classes early on that concentrated mostly on shop safety and getting familiar with the different tools.  I like watching woodworking shows and my favorite show is WoodWorks with David Marks.  My ultimate goal is to be able to make fine furniture.  I have some of the tools I need.  There are other tools that I still need and of course there are even more tools that I would just like to have. 

What is a WoodBlog?  A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web.  The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger".  WoodBlog is a combination of my favorite hobby, woodworking, and a blog.  Whenever I have the chance to do some woodworking I take some pictures of what I am working on, post them on my blog, and leave a small description of what I am doing.  Below each entry is a hyperlink that allows other woodworkers to leave a comment on that entry.  Other woodworkers and myself can then leave their own comment or respond to the other comments.  Hopefully through this process I can learn from other woodworkers and they in turn can learn from me.   Thanks for stopping by.
