    Talking New Fella - HSC Major Work.

    G'day guys,

    Thought I'd sign up here as I get my HSC Woodworking Major underway. Probably a great place to get advice from experienced woodworkers along the way.
    I'll also thought I'd keep you guys posted on my progress etc. with pictures and what not. I like looking through the picture of other blokes constructions and masterpiece so though I'd do the same.
    So I suppose you want to know what I'm making. Well I'm making a poker table with an additional top so that it converts to dining table when not in use.
    Other projects that I've done include a coffee/bedside table with pine rails with a merbau and blackbutt chessboard recessed into the top of it.
    I also resto'd a 20ft timber boat with my old man and my and his old man.
    Anyway if you guys are keen to see pictures ill see what I can find. I'll try post up before and after pictures of my boat - "The Girlfriend."
    Cheers Guys.

    Default Pics of my boat before and after.

    I should probably post these in the wooden boat section but hey I mentioned that I resto'd it in this forum and said I would post up pics here so here they are.
    So got the boat for free of a bloke that was just using it as a mooring minder. Had it out of the water for almost 6 months to the day. I don't have the boat anymore we sold it to some guy for a nice little profit. We renamed her "The Girlfriend." I think her old name was "Maud" from memory.
    So here are the before and after pictures. Not hard to tell the difference between the before and afters

    haha, there's always one isn't there? and for once its not me

    Anyway, I said i would post up some picture of my coffee/bedside table with the chessboard inlay.
    This was one of projects in year 10, its got pine rails and legs. I made the chessboard out of blackbutt and merbau. Once I had it all glued up my teacher dropped it and as you can imagine it broke into about 10 pieces so that was fun putting it back together. I don't know what else there is to tell. Finished it with 3 coats of lacquer. I was going to finish it with glass coat but I chickened out after reading about how tricky the application can be.
    But yeah enough of me talking, I finally got around to taking some pics today. So here they are.
