Sydney checking in.

[ElectricTears]

Hey all,

I'm Eden, 21yrs old and am just starting to pick up woodworking as a hobby to give me a break from the non-creative, monotonous IT support workplace.

Currently live in Sydney (Five Dock area) in a sharehouse so not much room to do things (especially because my housemate's dog will just terrorize me out the back).

I've considered joining a mens shed, but don't know if a 21yr old would really be welcomed/fit in there.

First projects will include a workbench, desk, and a bed. Ambitious, I know.

Hopefully I don't suck too much and I stick around here for a while longer.

Cheers.

Hello Eden,
Welcome to the forum. I strongly recommend that you go along and visit Strathfield Men's Shed, I am a former member and I assure you, they are more friendly than your flatmate's dog. The shed is in Pommeroy st Strathfield and it is well equipped.

Good luck and happy woodworking

Unfortunately I'm heading up the coast this weekend, but I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you feel at home here and I don't mean by the current state of your backyard with the vicious dog.
