Hi All,

Im a 35 Y/0 sydney based designer/architect who is about to set up his first ' hobby workshop'

Although i dont have much 'hand on' experience, i have grown up with the smell of sawdust (my father was a furniture designer and manufacturer). As ive always lived in small apartments, i have never had, unitl now, the opportunity to set up my own workspace where i can make NOISE...

I plan to start small, practice my skills then move on to larger pieces. I have some experience in welding and hope to incorporate both steel and timber into my furniture projects. I also hope to start the long anticipated renovation of my apartment which will include lots of 'built in' furniture.

Soon i will post some drawings of the ideas i have. it would be great to get some feedback on them, also any tips for a novice on 'setting up shop' would be great.

Looking forward to participating in this great forum

Cheers
