Hi from Melbourne

[TinyUmbrellas]

Morning all, I’m Rowan, from Melbourne. My partner is the more woodwork inclined of the two of us, (the dogs not much use either) but I like to learn and make projects so here I am, hoping the collective pool of knowledge here will save me some time consuming or expensive mucking around

I like to sew, and to take apart knitting machines, and lots of small handwork type crafts :) I hope some of that adjacent knowledge might come in handy to help someone.

I’m chronically online so I do reply fast, but since I’m new I’m still in moderation! So I hope you will be patient with me :)

Hello,


Welcome to join this forum. I am also a new member of this forum, hopefully we can get a lot of benefits and share knowledge among members.


Can you make sequins from Japanese pearls like MGB (Matsuno Glass Beads (https://www.istanamote.com/id/mgb/))? Because I'm learning it and always fail.

Hi @MeutiSM ! Unfortunately that’s not one of my skills but they look amazing! Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks Crowie! I do love to see a project with photos too! In terms of equipment we’re basic hand tools and a drop saw, but I’ve seen some amazing projects with only basic tools and I’m keen to learn to use them properly.
