    Default From the South Coast of N.S.W. Jervis bay

    Hi All,
    My name is Michael Mueller I live in Vincentia on the shores of Jervis Bay NSW. I grew up on a dairy farm in Victoria and while I always enjoyed making things it has always been very practical in nature and some what rural ). I have made a few little bits of furniture and things but nothing really what you would call fine wood working. Lately I have got really interested in wood working after watching this video series on you tube Building a Handtool Cabinet - Part 1 - YouTube. The way he marks stuff out and the care he takes I found really inspiring.
    Inspired I started out looking at power tools realised I needed a bench saw, then a router then a router table then a jointer then a thinknesser. Then I started reading about dust issues and dust extraction systems minimum 2 hp etc oh hmm seems a bit full on!

    More reading and watching stuff on you tube and I came across this guy. Alex Mosher - YouTube. The stuff he was teaching (he talk's like he is speaking to a kid but it is still good info imho). I had a realisation, why don't I just do it all with hand tools! I'm in no rush, I want to be able to work at night after work in my garage attached to the house. So that is what I have decided to do and I have built a few small things it is a great break from programming computers which I do during the day.
    That's Me.

    regards
    Mike.

    Mike.
    i checked out these videos on youtube and can really appreciate the care he puts into his marking out and final finishing. Its really something that i can learn to adopt into my own style. Not to mention the awesome tools he uses, pretty nice!

    Oh and welcome to the forum! Hope you find what you are looking for on here
