    Default Hi from Sydney

    G'Day All,

    Been reading alot of the posts here recently and getting a lot of great ideas and thought it would be great to join the community.

    Personally i have a garage which the car unfortunately can't get down the driveway into on an account that a tree next to the driveway has grown to large (before i moved in) and hence it was a sad day telling my wife that i would have to make use of it as my woodwork shed instead

    Got a few bits and pieces as most novices do, maybe a few more bits of power than most, bandsaw, rotary drill press, disc sander etc. But still missing lots !!!

    Next on the list a nice Thicknesser...

    My next project (of which i'm looking for some idea's for wood for) is a door harp, which i've just bought the zither pins and wire for from a music shop...

    Anyone got some suggestions, perhaps a piece of Jarrah ?
    Also where are the best timber places in Sydney ?

    Thanks

    G'Day & Welcome "Vandalix",
    to a top forum full of very help & knowledgable blokes and ladies.
    Sorry I can't help on the timber selection,
    I just make toys from what timber I can get and recycle it.
    Enjoy your woddwork.
    Have a heap of fun setting up your shed.
    Cheers, crowie

    Welcome

    I see you are one of us instantly using cunning, guile, lies to get your shed.

    Timber well my first choice although he's not in Sydney but his brother is (do a search for Greg Ward) this is Mal Ward Boutique Timbers shoot him an email and see what he can do.

    otherwise you have Trend Timbers Mulgrave (Windsor way), Anagoat Marricville ? Australian Hardwoods Millperra,

    Welcome to the forum, what a shame about not being able to park your car in your garage..
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John
