There is a reason to this post lol.

How many of you have picked up a new hobby here lately? Something you have never tried before and just thought one day..."Hey, I wonder if I could do this?"

Well...my bright idea was to make Adirondack Chairs. If you don't have any idea what those are: http://www.freeww.com/chairs.html (they have pictures there)

Now mind you, I have never EVER done any woodworking before. I just learned how to use a jigsaw a month ago. Well, I started at 2pm this after noon, and at nearly 1 am, I have completed my first set of chairs for my deck. I am sore and feel as if someone took a baseball bat to my back. Worked a jigsaw, circular saw, sander, dremel drill, regular drill, and I have two *grins* unique chairs to show for it. They ain't perfect, they ain't identical, but I made them. And I can't wait to do the two for the breezeway at the house.

Anyone else do something recently that you have never done before? Something creative?
