Hello !
I'am a metal worker.
In that shop we have actually a lot of costumer asking us if we can make wood parts too. We couldn't, but there was a woodworker right next to us and we where directing the costumer to him. The man eventually retired and my boss decided to make a woodworking space in our shop.
He hired a woodworker, and asked me and a coworker to help him setup then help with the orders at first.
That was it : I never had touched woodworking before that, and I just loved it !
I wished to do it as a hobby so I talked to the new woodworker at our shop, and the guy actually gave me a small lathe and a pen mandrel, telling me "stay safe, and have fun".
That's where I'm at. I turned a few things and find it really soothing. Now I'll try pens and hopefully, one day, sell a few to finance my new passion !
Thanks everyone !
