Welcome to Wood Talk for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who are actually under the illusion at

Woodworking is cool. Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it's Wood Talk Number 255 for July 3rd, 2015.

On today's show, we're talking about the early days of our woodworking careers and how long it took before we were actually proud of the things we made and actually might be interesting to find out if we aren't yet proud of things we make.

Right, I'm out.

Yeah, I kind of made a bit of an assumption there.

So this actually comes from a question that Nathan sent in.

He said, I've been woodworking for about two years now. Oh, by the way, it's a weekend edition of Wood Talk.

Casey didn't know, so that's why we really have one topic here.

Nathan said that? That's awesome. Thank you, Nathan.

Thanks for the weekend's here. Thanks you, Nathan. Boy, I'm glad the weekends here.

Thanks for the programming reminder.

He says, I've been woodworking for about two years now,

and I've built maybe four or five major projects,

including a desk, a work bench, and a tool chest,

and several other smaller ones. I have yet to be fully satisfied

or proud of anything that I built. My wife and other family members marvel at my abilities, but all

I see when I look at my projects are all the flaws and things I could have done better.

Am I just being too hard of myself or is this a usual feeling when starting out?

I know that I could, excuse me, rebuild the projects that I've done and make them even better,

but time and money won't allow for that now.
