Hi all
I have been lurking around the forums for a few months now and haven't posted yet.
I'm pretty new to woodworking and also new to Melbourne (moved here about 3 months ago from Shoal Bay NSW)
I'm currently making a dining table and will post some pics soon.
I have picked up some good tips since being here so just wanted to say thanks!

G'Day & welcome to a top forum Rob,
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies of the forum and for the most, very willing to assist.
Make sure you do show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy your woodwork.
Enjoy the forum.
I hope you settle into the new digs quickly.
Cheers, crowie

Welcome to the forum.
If you get stuck on an aspect of the dinning table just post a question. We do enjoy work in progress(WIP) threads, (no pressure there
). Have fun with the hobby and the forum.

thanks all, my table is getting there but i have been really busy lately and haven't got much done on it
i want the table top to be nice and smooth and perfectly flat, i have sanded it and while its smooth, when run my hand across it i can feel troughs and peaks across it.
I was thinking that i might need a plane to get it smooth and even? is this the best way?
thanks in advance

I straight answer to your questions is Yes. But there is a little more then just that.

I might suggest that you post this question with as much information as you can in the General sub section of the forum. WOODWORK - GENERAL
It will get a discussion going and far more options as to what you can do.
