G'day from a newb

[antz]

G'day folks,


I'm a newby to the game.
I'm not to be trusted around power tools, but I enjoy the look, smell working with timber and of course the all important finished product.

I thought I'd come here to learn a few things and seek some advice where I could.

Cheers

Ant

What part of working wood are most interested?
I'm sure there will be lots of people here that can help you with your new addiction

Rum pig,

I like to make my own things (not that I'am good at it) I never had a lot of patience but I have become determined.
The biggest issue is not having the correct tools

My grandfather was good at working with timber, it must miss a couple of generations.

I like making knives, I'm going to have a go at making a rifle stock soon too.
I'd love to have a crack at building some furniture.
Turning is a different story, I've never really had a go at it, my brother was talking to a fella the other day regarding joing a local wood turners club here in Newcastle

Congrats.

Sorry I typed in the wrong reply to the wrong sub forum. I meant to say Welcome to the forum.

Welcome mate

The Hunter Valley is a very nice place - I went there last year and stopped by the woodwork gallery. They have some beautiful pieces in there.
