Good morning, all. Greetings from Sydney.
The kids are off to school, mid-life has settled in, the garage has been cleaned, so it's time for a new hobby.
I've appreciated fine woodwork and the discipline in general, as I sail on wooden boats and occasionally build simple things like speaker cabinets. I wouldn't call myself handy exactly, but I do like figuring out things myself, and I have access to good advice.
I've been thinking about moving deeper into woodwork, and am starting at the beginning. First cab off there rank is deciding on a workbench to build - currently reading up on everything from simple/heavy English workbench designs to possible Paulk Workbench II.
There's a couple of stitch & glue kayak kits from Pygmy kayaks turning up soon as well, so want to have a flat surface to build them with my son.
Looking forward to learning amongst like-minded folk.
Cheers, David. (Sydney)
