I finally grabbed a decent 14" bandsaw on craigslist for $200..
I'm planning to see how my skills hold up making chairs. Chair making is pretty advanced stuff depending on how detailed you want to get
My first chair project is going to be a bar stool type chair for out in the shop made from just simple pine starting out. I thought about a formed seat, but that's a bit of work involved and I don't have the proper tools for those yet, but once I get a plain chair down and can repeat them over and over I'll try my hand at formed seats with hardwoods like oak, maple, mahogany, etc..
If that all goes well then it's off to rocking chairs.. Right now I don't own any scorps or inshaving tools.. Just a quick look at one of the tool suppliers I like a decent inshave is around $60 and I've never tried my hand at sharpening and honing one..

One of my latest things just screwing around, a custom towel rack for the bathroom..
Awhile back I built a folding workbench for my son.
