How did you get started woodworking? Who were your mentors?
I got started with woodworking about 8 years ago when I was looking for fun toddler furniture for my 18-month-old. The online trail quickly led me down the rabbit hole of discovering that with a few tools, I could probably make them myself. Prior to that I had zero exposure to woodworking/DIY and had barely even touched a power drill. Once I built the first piece, I was hooked.
I am self-taught–learning from the generous online bloggers and YouTubers–many of whom are now friends too, by asking questions, and in general, researching and soaking up all the details and information. If I had to pick a mentor, I'd consider it to be Ana White because it was her projects and plans that helped me learn during the early years.
