G'day,

I'm Brisbane based and keen to learn how to make furniture so thought this would be a good place to see how other people go about it.
Done the normal senior school wood working classes and help Dad out around the house, but would diffidently consider myself a beginner.
Looking forward to learning.

Cheers

Matt, I can say without any doubt and complete sincerity that this is absolutely the right place to be.

These guys and girls will guide you and offer the best possible advice (and then some)... an absolute goldmine of problem solving and wisdom.

Its awesome. I've often felt it should have a paid membership... its rude to receive so much for free :)

Welcome and congratulations on catching "the bug".

Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.

This is what I made for the missus which got be bit with the wood work bug,
Made with structural timber as I didn't and still don't know where to buy specific species of timber in Brisbane.
No idea what the legs or frame is but the slab was sold as Red Gum,( though a mate reckons it is blue gum???)

Not the tidiest good, but the missus is happy with it

Cheers
