    Default Hi

    Hi everyone,
    I have visited this forum for years and have had some great advice from it so I thought it was about time I joined.
    I have had an interest in woodwork for some time, I am an amateur Luthier and have also tried my hand in box making, furniture making, green woodworking and pretty much anything else I can find time to try.

    I am currently in the army but am looking at a career change in the future hence why I joined this forum to hopefully find some advice. I am looking to move back to Melbourne to become a cabinetmaker however have almost no idea about the industry or where to start looking for an apprenticeship. I was hoping someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Welcome to a top forum Chris.
    Can't help with apprenticeship advise sorry. I've a friend that is a luthier, he sells them world wide, unfortunately he lives in the Adelaide Hills, which is a fair way from Melbourne. Are you wanting to do the apprenticeship to learn the finer skills of the craft to be able to make better instruments?
