Newbie in the Perth Hills
I have recently returned to Oz after flying the flag in Texas for 7 years:aussie5:. Now living in the Perth Hills with nod of acceptance from SWMBO to pursue unfulfilled passion for working with wood..when asked by my primary school teacher what I wanted to be on leaving primary school ~47 years ago replied 'builder'..this didn't happen and I have taken a very different path ...apart from a few years woodwork at Glen Waverley High School in Melbourne have not had any formal training but have always had a few tools and examples of my 'handy work' have been left in different homes I have lived in :D...I have many furniture projects in mind and realize I have a lot to learn and not enough time with major work and family commitments (2 boys at home aged 11 and 13 and 6 month old German Shepherd dog)..currently setting up my first serious workshop in the double garage, desperately seeking solutions for alternate storage of kids bikes, skateboards, garden tools, christmas decorations, etc..have made some major tool purchases already (I am definitely obsessed with this!) and have already found this forum to be of great assistance..looking forward to learning more and sharing some of my projects with y'all...
