Newb woodboy's finished project

[dalius]

Hi, my names dale completely new to woodworking, started about 6 months ago when I was shopping for a bookcase for my DVD's, and got one hell of a shock at how expensive a non MDF piece of furntiture is, so thought bugger it ill make one. Cost me $200 to make, would have cost $600-$800 to buy locally, and I got the satisfaction of making it myself. Pretty proud, considering I had never done any woodwork before it turned out pretty well!!






For my next project I am getting a bit adventurous have been given some big ruff sawn bits of what I am told is blackwood, that I am going to make into a low line entertainment unit. Will Start another thread for that one, as that is the main reason I joined the forum as I am such a newb will need some advice, what I originally had planned was going to be fairly simple and made from pine, but now that I have gotten my hands on some wood that i think can be turned into something special am getting way out of my league! But I will succeed!
