    Goodonya Jonesy - Welcome to the forums.Think you'll find that many of us were bitten by the woodworking bug around the time of our first born. There seems to be some primal urge that's inherant in many blokes, to get into a shed and make a cradle, cot, toys, etc.

    Cheers - Neil

    Heh - or it is a way to escape for a few minutes and regain some sanity! (From a new(ish) Dad's perspective!)

    G'day Jonsey and welcome to the craziness.

    Built my 3rd son a bed from recycled Ironbark. We all do crazy things for our kids. It now goes to eldest grandchild.

    Glad to have you here Matt and welcome to the forums.
    In woodworking there is no scrap, only firewood.
