My name is James and I live in Townsville, North Queensland. I served 20 + years in the military and was retired medically. Woodwork to me is therapeutic, it's about creating something or just fixing something and making it stronger and better.
If you asked my wife about five years ago if I could knock something up with a hammer and nails she would have just laughed her head off. My first attempt just to put a bracket up for the clothes dryer ended up with a wall full of holes and hinges on the kitchen cupboards were just as bad. I reckon I nearly failed 'Shop' in High School.
Then a couple of years ago I have no idea what happened, but it did.
Now I have made a bench seat for a fire pit, a circular seat to go around an old tree in our yard, and a few other things. I absolutely love it.
What I am actually chasing is plans for a hobbyist. Like a wooden windmill for the garden or those animal spinners.
Does anyone know where I can download diagrams, etc??
