What do you like about this subject?  Woodworking is the most forgiving medium of all, allowing all types of talent levels to achieve excellent results.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I've been working on a book for years. It will explain how to work with wood using your eyes and your instincts, rather than getting all caught up in dimensions and blue-prints.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  I started out working with marble, glass, bronze and clay, but kept returning to wood as the perfect medium.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  You can't just buy some tools and read a book to magically "become" a woodworker. It's a passion that must brew in your heart, and spill out of your hands.
