Hi guys,
Neil here. I work in sales and marketing operations and have absolutely no experience in wood working whatsoever. I like working with my hands and as a hobby on the weekends I do a bit of steel work and decided to spread that through to wood work as well.
I have a 14 month old son (Sebastian) and I thought I would work on a couple of projects for him. The big goal is to build a cubby house and play set, but before that I think I might tackle some smaller projects.
When I buys tools I don't usually try to get things that will last, so my trip to Total Tools yesterday wasn't cheap haha
So first up, when Seb wakes up and I can make some noise, is to make a work bench. I've had a Bunnings trip this morning to pick up supplies. I have a CNC router on order from 3dtek (the X-Carve) so my project today is to knock up a work bench that will house it. Not sure if I should draw out first what I have in my head or just wing it. I think today I might just wing it and build it as I go - wish me luck =)
