    Default Hey all

    Just saying hi. Name is Drewe, i'm a computer guy in work life, married with a couple of kids. Dabbled in woodworking in the past, but getting back into it again now with a little time. Funny though, after reading and learning lots of things some of my old work looks decidedly dodgy

    Been hanging round for a little, mainly reading, I'm sure I will get to posting on day!

    G'Day & Welcome to a top forum, Drewe.
    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 photos with build notes.
    Enjoy the forum.
    Enjoy your woodwork.
    Cheers crowie

    PS - While computers are a good assistance when they work, nothing beats working with timber creation something.....

    Ok. A chance to post. What have you made? What do you like making?

    You might have noticed that we do tend to joke around a little.

    Joking works fine with me

    In the past I made a massive (read: Massive) desk for my wife and her craft\stamping\etc. 7 foot wide by 5 foot deep, with shelves and fully modular so it can be disasembled with a few screws. The top was nice (individual boards biscuit joined - THAT was fun), the rest of it is not so nice. I didn't have the tools (excuse), and I didn't know what I was doing (truth). I just took to wood and saw what happened. Actually, we have moved countries and multiple houses with it in 5 years, so, it can't be that bad.

    I'm now building loft beds for the kids, but trying to do it properly. read: not wanting kids to fall from 5 feet in the air because of dodgy work. Hence, here I am, learning just a little
