Hi From ShazL
Hi
I'm known as ShazL (longish story, pm me if you want to know) and live in Geelong (Victoria, Australia).
I started in woodwork at school. Recently hubby (Noel) and I joined a viking re-enactment group and found woodwork again. He mostly deals in metalwork, while I do the other crafty type things, I'm currently learning leatherwork too.
I'm fairly competent using hand tools, but own quite a few power tools now, so I'm learning how to use them.
I'm halfway through my first bench and a viking chest. Hopefully the next project will be a workshop before winter

Hi Shazl, welcome to the forum.
"The training of the eyes to know when an edge is perfectly straight or a surface is flat, free from winding, and straight, is a very important part of a lad's training."

Greetings from Dubh Linn?
Welcome aboard.
Vikings in Geelong? Whatever next?
Is it just a re-enactment social type thing (fine if it is, we've all got to have our own fun) or does your group get into traditional crafts as well?We don't know how lucky we are......

I belong to NVG Hodgeon in Belgrave - not our local group NVG Dubh Linn - between work and other commitments our local group didn't quite fit into our real life
(
But we do a fair bit of traditional craft, tablet weaving, hand sewn linen and leather goods, lots of wood furniture,chests, etc, all a new learning curve for me - this is only our first year. PM me if you want further info)
On a good note, my table is finally finished - just now adding a peg board. I have no idea how to post photos, or I would.
Happy woodworking
