New member here. My family is from Dorset, but I grew up in Switzerland (in the German and French speaking parts of the Valais in the Alps).
These past few years I've collected some handtools (including a bunch of English tools from ebay) and I've begun learning how to do some halfway decent woodwork with them.
Recently, my wife and I as well as our 3 months old daughter moved into an old chalet that was in her family. I've been building furniture and fixtures for the house and it has all been a bit of an adventure! As for the woodwork, it's been all hand tools so far, but I'm hoping to soon buy a bandsaw. My furniture so far has been a mix of local styles that I see all around me, and English/US styles that I've learned from books and visits to Dorset.
I'll hopefully post some pictures of things I've built, and I'll be asking for advice on upcoming projects.
