    Default Hey there

    I'm Joe,

    I'm pretty new to woodwork, well taking it seriously as a hobby any way. I grew up making things with my grandpa in his workshop, and worked as a french polisher, installed kitchens and labourer for some boat builders so I have always been around tools and making things.

    I've been without a workshop and my tools for nearly 3 years but starting to get back into the swing of things here in melbourne. I had a little workshop with i was making knives, turned my garage into a climbing gym and learned to weld. Though I'm only in a small townhouse here I am getting set up so I can work on some small projects to develop my woodworking skills and get back into knife making.

    Cheers
