Greeting from windy Ballarat

Hi everyone from Ballarat, Victoria.

I made a bit of furniture growing up but then life got in the way (work, kids, no space, no time etc) so I never really progressed with woodworking. I’m now in a position where I have some space (7m x 5m garage with mezzanine) and a bit more time to allocate and a bit more money to buy some toys.

I’ve just found this forum a few days ago and it has already saved me from making a few mistakes before I’ve really even started.

I’m really looking forward to learning as much as I can from the wealth of knowledge in here. Not just so I can make some fancy things to try and justify the time/money/space to the wife, but to one day give back and share knowledge with you all, and my two boys.

Welcome to the forum

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum ......
There are a local of woodworkers in country Victoria with a stack members around Melbourne and cross the rest of the country.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.....
Cheers crowie

PS - Watch the "Market Place" for some of your tool requirements, some good buys!

Make sure you keep an eye out for the Ballarat Wood Show. Not sure what impact Covid has had on it, but in the past it’s been a good showcase of local talent, good opportunity to get some ideas and to network.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Crowie. Will do.

Thanks for the tip. Searching for that led me to find there’s a local woodworking guild to join!

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your future projects. I will be going through your town tomorrow on the way to Halls Gap for a bit of a break. Hopefully it might be a little less windy then:roll:
