Hello from Brisbane - with pics!

[mrgrumz]

Hi all,


I'm a half-garager who loved woodworking in school and has gravitated back to it as a weekend hobby. Still a beginner really.

My day job is slowly driving me insane so this is a great escape (and money sink, as I accumulate and migrate to better tools).

I've made some basic furniture, done some scroll sawing, with a desire to take on some carving. But there's not much I'm enjoying more than tinkering around on the weekend, with the footy on the radio, and am re-discovering that forgotten satisfaction of the process of creation, not just the product.

Forums look awesome, see you around! :2tsup:

Some recent work:

Welcome home mrgrumz. It looks like you are off to a very good start on your return journey down the woodworking path.
Soon you will wonder how you will have enough time to go to work.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do. Keep the pictures coming of your WIP and finished projects.
Heaps of info here to keep you entertained for hours.

Hello MrGrumz saw your hello from March, wondered how the insanity was going, or even better how's the woodwork going?

Here's a workbench I have recently completed for motorcycle inclinated friend.
Hope you haven't worn your new chair out ;)

Good to see you on the forum.
You are starting right,you must have a good THINKING CHAIR all flows from there:2tsup:

[rwbuild]

Welcome, you won't be a "half garager" for long so make good use of that chair and contemplate how you will keep SWMBO happy:rolleyes: in the process of using all the garage. Just think of all the good tools you could get if you cashed the car in :D

Hi mrgrumz,

Welcome to the Forum. Nice job on the bench and chair.
All the chair needs now is a stubby holder for after good hard
day of woodwork.

Cheers Graham.
