Hi All
Phils the name, thought I'll give you an intro of how I got into this hobby.
Moved into my new home back in Feb 2015
Did a lot of research online on how to do a deck, was hesitant at first as I never really used a power tool before .... lol
Purchased a Makita Compound Saw and off I went, It turned out pretty good, it's still holding up so was pretty chuffed with myself..
I then started doing research online on DIY projects I would like to take on and tools that I need.
I purchased a Festool TS55 Track saw next and did the carcass and drawers and fronts for the outdoor kitchen.
House was looking pretty empty, so off I went to Bunnies and got some construction grade timber and experimented on making coffee tables.
As I got more familiar with the types of Joinery, I started buying Hardwoods for my projects.
Did a hallway side table out of Jarrah, left overs I made cutting boards :D
Attached are some of the projects I've tackled so far.....doing the office fitout at the moment with Floating Shelves / Mountain Ash bench top and built in cabinetry...which means I'm also fitting out new base boards all around the house.....what a painful job that is... lol
I'm now looking at turning my garage into a workshop. Recently purchased a 2 stage dusty and now looking at getting a Sawstop Prof 36" T-Glide....(prices just went up GRRRRR) Next project will be a Torsion Box / MFT style workbench.
Forum has a wealth of info :) glad I stumbled across this site
