New to Wookworking

[rsdsouza]

Hi all,

I'm recently started working with wood, although the interest has been there for some time. I have bought a few tools and tried out a small wooden stool - it's come out pretty well. I'd like to learn more and try out other stuff as well. I live and work in Sydney, and try to set aside a few hours a week to my new hobby.

Cheers,
Rajath

Hi Crowie,

Thank you for the info... it certainly looks like this is the right place to start.

As you suggested, I have included some photos of my first project - a meditation bench. In future, I'll try to post photos of my next project(s). I'm hoping to build a router table; in fact, I've put up a post about the router I bought ( http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=192274 ).

Welcome to the forum Rajath, nice job.

Welcome to the forum.

Good way to start is to make something that you are either interested in or require. You build up the skill level from each project(task) undertaken. You have done well in making your stool. One thing to keep in mind is that this after all is a hobby and hobbies are supposed to be fun.
