Hello from Brisbane - with pics!

**mrgrumz** · 26th March 2013, 08:19 PM

Hi all,

I'm a half-garager who loved woodworking in school and has gravitated back to it as a weekend hobby. Still a beginner really.

My day job is slowly driving me insane so this is a great escape (and money sink, as I accumulate and migrate to better tools).

I've made some basic furniture, done some scroll sawing, with a desire to take on some carving. But there's not much I'm enjoying more than tinkering around on the weekend, with the footy on the radio, and am re-discovering that forgotten satisfaction of the process of creation, not just the product.

Forums look awesome, see you around!

Some recent work:

The Chair of Relaxment

Bench of Many Things (WIP)

Welcome home mrgrumz. It looks like you are off to a very good start on your return journey down the woodworking path.
Soon you will wonder how you will have enough time to go to work.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do. Keep the pictures coming of your WIP and finished projects.
Heaps of info here to keep you entertained for hours.

Welcome to the forum, I just signed on a few days ago as well and am still feeling my way around.

Nice job on the chair and bench. May both see plenty of use.

Hello MrGrumz saw your hello from March, wondered how the insanity was going, or even better how's the woodwork going?

Here's a workbench I have recently completed for motorcycle inclinated friend.
Hope you haven't worn your new chair out

Good to see you on the forum.
You are starting right,you must have a good THINKING CHAIR all flows from there

**rwbuild** · 2nd July 2013, 06:16 PM

Welcome, you won't be a "half garager" for long so make good use of that chair and contemplate how you will keep SWMBO happy

in the process of using all the garage. Just think of all the good tools you could get if you cashed the car in

**Matador** · 2nd July 2013, 06:54 PM

Hi mrgrumz,

Welcome to the Forum. Nice job on the bench and chair.
All the chair needs now is a stubby holder for after good hard
day of woodwork.

Cheers Graham.
