I know more about power tools than the average girl. I created a small business named Wesleigh Designs in 2019 run solely by me. I design and create personalized wood pieces. The most popular item I sell are custom wood signs.
Growing up my grandpa and most recently my step dad have taught me everything I know. For the projects I create I usually use the table saw, miter saw and nail gun. After using the saws with supervision, it did not take long before I was comfortable using them on my own. I think my step dad was more nervous about me using them unsupervised than I was. When I started using the compressor and nail gun I was very nervous! I had used them in the past with my grandpa but everything had already been set up for me. Like the saws it did not take long until I was fully comfortable hooking up the hose, compressor and nail gun alone.
If I continue to expand my knowledge on power tools that are not yet in my comfort zone, it will benefit me and my business. By learning how to use new tools and techniques it can take my work to the next level. Looking back on the work I have done over the last few years, I can say with certainty that my work is getting better and better with the more experience I gain. If you decide this blog is up your alley, I will be talking about a range of topics that I have always been interested in learning more about.
