Hi,
Buxton NSW is home for me.
I only found this after buying a couple of woodworking magazines.
Ex mechanic and habitual tinkerer. Rebuilt or restored cars and bikes over the years.
renovated 3 houses and looking for our forever farm to settle and eventually retire.
Played in a band and rebuilt several guitars for fun.
Started watching Youtube clips of luthiers and then really good wood workers, got the bug !
Bought a set of chisels, Japanese saw, marking guage , diamond and water stones etc etc.. Spent a little more than I wanted on 3 or 4
stanley planes from Ebay and stripped them down and fixed them up... a bit addictive that !
Started practicing dovetail joints and today finished my first small box from Kauri with a rosewood top.
I went to a local timber yard and bought some off cuts.
Desperately want a band saw, oscillating sander and thicknesser, have no idea how I will fit it all in my single garage / workshop !!
Cheers
