Hi, I am 13 and have done a bit of wood turning and carving and general DIY I am in QLD and would love to know some more about wood working and maybe a little metal working.

Welcome aboard, you'll learn lots on here if you want to. Next year if your parents are willing to bring you down I have an idea for ya -
If you want to meet a few from the forum and some from other places who share a passion for Wood Working you may like to check this out.
http://www.woodworkforums.com/f25/wwjj-woodworkers-jerilderie-jaunt-feb-2014-a-170839/
At this time it looks like we will have a variety of competent woodworkers there with skills in flat work, wood turning, carving and perhaps milling.
Opportunity to spend one on one with some of these and whoever else is there and willing to share there time and expertise.
The invitation for you and whoever comes - bring some tools, bring some wood (these are optional but desired if possible) you can sell, swap, work with it or just watch others.
Mandatory if you come - a smile, willing spirit, desire to have fun learn and enjoy yourself.
Hope to see you there, if cant make it we'll see you round the forum and who knows maybe at some other event
Take Care
