Hi guys from melb

[Pakros]

I'm more of a hobbyist, and learn things as i go. Really hope to learn a lot from all of you, and maybe provide inspiration or a new perspective through my sheer ignorance of this all. I've recently completed a desk project and am very satisfied with it. I have a few improvements i will make to my next one. I've never "created" anything that has worked or made me this happy. Very jealous of those of you who do this for a living!

Thanks

Andrew.

G'day Andrew,

Welcome aboard and + 1 on what Crowie said

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
