    Default New to forum

    This site is great. I live in Wisconsin, USA. I've been interested in woodworking my whole life and retired recently so I can spend more time in the shop. Here a picture of the workbench I made. The top is black ash and the legs are pine. I like making toys and recycling things. I made some spoon basketball games using bowling alley wood (heart pine). Will take pictures and share soon. I look forward to participating.

    Yes, mate, you'll enjoy this site. yeah, your bench looks great. You'll probably be asked about the lumbers you get there which we don't here, such as the black ash. I presume your pine is like the radiata or monterey pine that's common here, as there are many plantations, & in fact it's now Australia's most plentiful lumber. Please be aware that when we say "ash" here, it's probably mountain ash or alpine ash, both eucalypts, & there are other names of timbers like that too.

    Cheers,
    Harper Rod
