Hello Zulu, and thank you for your very helpful and thoughtfull responses to my questions, you are very kind to spend so much time and thought on me. If you do not mind me asking one more question, what do you think would be the best starter project that i would gain the most from, i agree with you that it is best to do something simple well rather than a complex project badly, any ideas would be most welcome. Thank you once again for your kindness, hopefully i will make some new friends on here as well as learning new things.

Hi Sam ,nice to meet you,sorry if i come across a bit silly here but would i not also need to buy a mallet , cutting mat and knife in addition to the 7 tool set, i thought i might begin with a belt or wallet.Is that 7 set of tools just for the carving side of things.

That looks fantastic, i have always had a bit of a thing for workshops, they can seem to take on a personality when they are right. Is it just me that is a bit wierd.

Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I am now 50 years old and unable to work due to being disabled i have a degenerative disease in my spine which restricts my mobility and ability to walk without walking sticks. I have a lot of time and have been looking for something to learn with all my spare time. When i was young i got in to a bit of bother with the law and was sent to a special attendance centre as punishment. I remember we used to do leatherwork and glasswork and always thought it would be something i would love to get into a lot more. Well i have decided that it is time to do that now. My biggest problem is going to be my low budget so do you think i should start with a tandy kit or maybe just start buying things individually.I am a bit unsure where to start and so that is where i hope this forum will come in. I will be asking lots of questions that's for sure. I am really hoping that this will put back some joy into my life as i have had to give up so many of my other pleasures due to ill health.

This was a double post by mistake, if the moderators would like to remove this one that would be great,sorry about that.
