    Default Hello from Chadstone (SE suburb) of Melbourne

    G'day everyone,

    It's good to say hi to woodworking guru here.

    I've been doing working in offices for ages and I'm trying pick up a hobby that really use my hands and I can spend time alone enjoying the moment myself. I'm an absolute beginner, aiming at making some shelves closets and light furniture at home/garage.

    I probably need advices about what tools I'll need and how to use them in a SAFELY manner.

    Looking forward to chatting to you!

    Regards,
    Carlos

    Welcome to the forum.
    Don't be afraid to ask questions.
    I am no expert, but would be happy to help you with some basic stuff.
    For many things, practice and practice helps, but so does having good quality tools and where necessary sharp tools.
