Gedday from Launceston

[Slarti]

Hello all, as you are reading this, you will have figured out that I am a new member.

Been living in Tassie about 10 years now and have 3 daughters - one is 7, one is 5 and one is n'a half - that's her screaming right now.

I am an inexperienced wood worker - never even did woodwork at high school (was that legal?), something that I regret these days - but knowledge and skills are improving slowly, as more projects get stuffed up.

Most things I attempt are pretty simple, next one in line is a cubby house for the girls, which is how I came to find this sight. I laid my hands on 15 pinewood pallets used to transport commercial oven the other day, and right now I am taking a break from the laborious task of taking them apart and removing all of the nails. At least it's free wood.

Hopefully, you will see more of me here.

Cheers, Slarti.

G'day Slarti and welcome to our rather large cubby house.

You have started well, scrounging is part of the game.

Hi Slarti, welcome.
When my kids were young I did the same, made lots of things for them.
Now they all live on there own, I have the time for woodturning, and still I make a lot of stuff for them.

Hi Slarti. A cubby is in line for making at out place to. I think cubbies should only be made out of scrounged wood.

Great starting point and wonderful to see the look of kids faces when something special is made for them. Welcome aboard Slarti
