Hi all, my names Matt and I've been working with wood as a hobby for many years. I trained at 18 as a builder working on internal renovations until I went to Uni at 24 to study architecture. I got a job out of uni working for a bespoke metal work/lighting/furniture in the design department. Then I moved to work in the setting out department of a shop fitting company where I learned how to design and create technical drawings for the joiners. I've now gone back to being self employed as I need some control in my life.

long story short I'm now setting up my own small work shop to design and make products myself for the next portion of my career. I'm really keen to get stuck in on the forum and soak up all the woodworking knowledge and advice I can from you guys and anything I can give back I am more than happy to do so.

I have a lot of experience with 3d cad software, Autodesk Inventor mainIy but I've just moved to Fusion 360 so if anyone needs help with that side of things then please feel free to ask and I will help where I can. I also do freelance cad design if needed. I have a good bit of experience with injection moulded plastic.

I am really keen to up my game when it comes to my making skills.

Hi there and welcome

 

[TRITON]

Welcome indeed. You sound well qualified to get well stuck into the many subjects we rattle on about here.

Word of warning though. DO NOT MENTION SHARPENING CLUB.

I've got to ask what Sharpening club is now

Hi and welcome to our sanitarium

For Sharpening Club, think of the film FIGHT CLUB, and the infamous line
"...1st rule no one talks about fight club...".
Well that's how to treat anything on Sharpening related posts... just mention it, sit back and watch skin and hair and ideas and arguments fly

Is the sharpening club used for the hollows on Japanese blades?
