/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm only just now getting into making things since I could never afford the time or cost of tools. Now I can't because of major financial shit happening but am still being frivolous in the hopes of selling things I make, wood carvings, furniture and tabletop crafts/ mini terrain.
Best deal was probably an old Black & Decker miter saw I found at the local thrift store for $70. It was reduced to $50 when I next checked it and got it 3 days before leaving for winter break.Just recently got new blades for it to make it work properly and have been messing around with wood working constantly since then.

Also a large self-healing cutting mat for crafts, was using lots of cardboard before that came and dulled alot of blades as a result. HAd the thing for less than a year and have worked it so hard it looks like I've had it for 5.
