A new guy from South Gippsland
Hi all,
I have just started woodworking in the last eighteen months and have built up a basic set of hand tools (even joined the HTPAA!), I am learning mostly on pallet wood before I build my skills enough to pay for something to bodge up!!
I live in Leongatha, which is about 90 minutes south east of Melbourne and use mainly unpowered hand tools. This stops me waking the kids up as the only time I can get to my corner of the garage is after they are finished for the day.
It's funny but I never really anticipated having a passion for anything like this but have discovered a love of building furniture, even if my efforts are still pretty 'rustic' - as in, you can drive truck through my dovetails!!! I am building a table at the moment and it is tough/time consuming but massively rewarding when I get the joints to fit together nice and tightly.
Anyway, it is great reading through all the threads and listening to those with the know-how, i can see this as being a long journey!
thanks for your time
Nick

Welcome to the forum.
The nice thing about working with wood(metal, plastic or leather) is there are various areas to keep ones' interests. The curve might seem steep in the beginning but as you said the journey is long. Having fun in making something is part of the journey.
