Hi from Sydney

[Vandalix]

G'Day All,

Been reading alot of the posts here recently and getting a lot of great ideas and thought it would be great to join the community.

Personally i have a garage which the car unfortunately can't get down the driveway into on an account that a tree next to the driveway has grown to large (before i moved in) and hence it was a sad day telling my wife that i would have to make use of it as my woodwork shed instead :)

Got a few bits and pieces as most novices do, maybe a few more bits of power than most, bandsaw, rotary drill press, disc sander etc. But still missing lots !!!

Next on the list a nice Thicknesser...

My next project (of which i'm looking for some idea's for wood for) is a door harp, which i've just bought the zither pins and wire for from a music shop...

Anyone got some suggestions, perhaps a piece of Jarrah ?
Also where are the best timber places in Sydney ?

Thanks
Vandalix

G'Day & Welcome "Vandalix",
to a top forum full of very help & knowledgable blokes and ladies.
Sorry I can't help on the timber selection,
I just make toys from what timber I can get and recycle it.
Enjoy your woddwork.
Have a heap of fun setting up your shed.
Cheers, crowie

Welcome

I see you are one of us instantly using cunning, guile, lies to get your shed.:;

Timber well my first choice although he's not in Sydney but his brother is (do a search for Greg Ward) this is Mal Ward Boutique Timbers (http://www.boutiquetimbers.com/) shoot him an email and see what he can do.

otherwise you have Trend Timbers (http://www.trendtimbers.com.au/index.php)Mulgrave (Windsor way), Anagoat Marricville ? Australian Hardwoods Millperra,
