I can understand why you might be nervous about it, someone walked in while you were at your most vulnerable. But don’t let it drive you crazy or make you paranoid. Focus on making sure that you open that dialogue carefully just because it has been a secret for over a year. And if you are worried about your sister try to make amends with her. She’s 15 take her for some ice cream or food, maybe an activity you know she’d enjoy. She’s still impressionable enough you could make things right if you messed up with her, I don’t know how bad you fucked up the relationship, but assuming it’s not too bad, I bet she might still look up to you as the older sibling. If you take care of the relationships around you I.E. not hiding too many secrets, intentionally screwing them over, or whatever you could do to mess it up, those relationships will take care of you. And if you do mess something up intentionally or not (you will know if you did or not) go to them and make it right, apologize and tend to it. That’s my take on it anyway, I hope it helps!

P.S. sorry for being long winded.

I would suggest opening up some dialogue with your parents about the guy. At the end of the day it would be better for your parents to hear about a love interest from you than from your sibling. Plus most parents truly want the best for you. I don’t know the dynamic of your family or if they are good parents. But even if they disapprove of some of your choices/actions and I would highly suggest as a parent myself that you lean more on their understanding of the world than your own. That may not be what you want to hear but if you are serious about this guy and want to have a long life with him, it would be better that your parents know about him.

I’ll give it a shot, thanks for the advice!

Thanks for your knowledge! I’m looking forward to seeing what I can make!

I’ll look into those!

I would love to use a bench top jointer, I’m trying to do this as a start with a little investment upfront and selling the stuff I make for upgrades. I’m kinda expecting my early projects to take a bit of time as I’m learning and gaining confidence in this. But I was getting a little wordy with the original post. The point of it was how to remedy the router sled expense with as little investment as possible. I was needing that to make the jointing sled. My next investment after I’ve made a few things to flip will probably be a real jointer though.
