G'day

[Jocelyn]

I joined the wonderful world of woodwork about a year ago when the local Men's Shed offered a day for the ladies. We call it the Shelia's Shed. We have one of the men there to assist us also the occasional drop in if there is a lot of us. We usually have about 5 ladies there. We started with bread boards and have progressed in leaps and bounds. I had done repairs and restoration of furniture as I like nice things but have a limited income and that was the only way to do it. Now I can make things. I have made an occasional table with a slab of champour with a top finish like glass and I am proud of it, now making a dinning table. May sound strange but is looking good, Iam using water resistant chip board with a strip of rosewood and western red cedar on the edges. It is a tressal style with a red cedar streacher bar. I had fun doing the corner mitres and am quite happy with them. Will post a picture when finished.

Welcome Jocelyn. Great to see women developing skills and getting kicks out of woodwork.

Look forward to seeing pics of your work.

Welcome to the forum. Great work in doing things. I get the feeling that you are also building in confidence, that to me is more important.
