Hey all, Just thought i'd start a new thread to say hi.
I'm from sydney, I just finished building a new house and I (predictably) now have a thousand projects to do. Being a bit of a noob when it comes to timber, I've been looking through various websites for ideas and advice and this one keeps popping up so I thought it would be worth dropping by to say hello and thanks for all the hard work answering questions. Not everyone makes an account to ask a question, so the amount of help that a good forum gives out can be underestimated by the posters, so again, thanks for your time.
In the near future I have a master plan to make things for my house as I go along. Im a bit of a greenie, so I like to use second hand materials to reuse and upcycle, and to do things for myself. Some of the things I plan on doing include:
Finishing a wall hanger for a kraft paper roll (along these lines http://devilandegg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/P1270811-450x600.jpg)
Burnishing a couple of chunks of Huon pine
finding some reclaimed timber to make a set of curved shelves for a corner nook
making a table for the study out of reclaimed timber and box steel
another wooden balance bike (Ill post up a thread about my first attempt soon)
Copper coffee pourover holder as a gift for a coffee mad friend (for a v60. They are a great way to make coffee http://assets-s3.mensjournal.com/img/essential/killer-joe-best-pour-over/298_398_killer-joe-best-pour-over.jpg)
I'm also a keen motorcycle rider...
