    Default Time on my hands for making stuff

    I'm a 45 yr old bloke that been made redundant in the last 3 weeks. I was in the construction industry as a electrician in Melbourne but live on the Mornington Peninsula. I have found a new love in working with timber. I will start slow and would like to make some basic stuff. e.g lamps, chopping board.
    So I guess I will have some real simple questions to begin with so bear with me.
    Thanks everyone for your future help.
