Hello Everyone Stirling here
Hi Everyone,
My name is Stirling, I'm based in the Inner West of Sydney and I have commandeered the garage of our apartment to be my work space (or man cave) where I am currently trying to finish a very ambitious car modification project that is now in its 9th year (obviously not woodworking). After that, I have some nice pieces of Huon pine that I want to get into to make some tables!
What has gotten me properly into the woodworking circle lately is I have embarked on a project called Hobby Society, where I am trying to make it easier for younger generations (like me) to take up a hobby like woodworking here in Sydney. As a result, I have recently been meeting some seriously talented people doing some amazing things with wood. Becoming a member of this forum seemed like a logical choice as I would like to be part of the community and stay informed about what's happening in the woodworking space
Look forward to joining in on the discussions!
Stirling

Welcome to the wood working maelstrom.
Ashfield was a bit of a stomping ground for me - I grew up in Haberfield many years ago.

Hi Shane,
Thanks for the offer I did actually go down the the Illawarra Festival, I was there on Friday meeting up with some people doing some really amazing stuff there! Hopefully some of the people I met there will be keen to jump on to Hobby Society
How did you find the show?

I had a great time at the show. I nervously took my 5yo daughter along too and she had as great a time as me.
Looking forward to next year already.
