Why this blog ?

Ever since I started using the using the Internet, I have used it to research information on many different areas. The net has given me pointers, perspectives, advice and oh the odd rant ;) on

• making a solid wood joint,
  
• finishing a table
• upholstering an ottoman,
  
• sharpening the mower blade,
  
• home wiring,
  
• home plumbing,
  
• maintaining my car
  
• and numerous miscellaneous other things ...

Since its the collective wisdom of the net ( and that, of course, of friends ) that enables me to dabble in these areas, I figured it was time to start posting some of the results of those exploits and share with fellow handymen ( and women ! ) some of the projects that I have been doing.

Do pitch in with your own comments, favorite hints and tips!
