Looking to meet like minded making stuff out of wood enthusiasts!
Hey everyone, my name is fi, Last year I did a furniture making course and since then I have been doing work experience a few days a week with a local designer. I feel it's now time to move on and pursue projects of my own imagination.
I am hoping to meet people who have a passion for wood turning ( furniture legs and smallish stuff like bowls etc) wood carving (spoons, bowls, seats etc) simplistic furniture inspired by modern Danish designers. Also a spot of re upholstery. I am about to do a welding course to add another string to my bow.
I hope to rent a small garage or workshop where I can get busy but I would love to have some like minded people around me to bounce ideas off, hoping to turn my passion into more than just a hobby. Feel free to contact me if you or someone you know would like to catch up and talk timber

Welcome to our madhouse!
One good way to meet local(ish) members of this forum is to keep an eye on the Woodies Stuff/Woodies Events section.
Meeting like-minded people in person at one of these events/shows/BBQs/get-togethers/forum meets (call them what you will) has always made for a good time and an informative day.

Hello I'm new to woodworking also. If you're a guy, maybe you could try your local Men's Shed. From my limited experience thus far, all age groups are welcome, and there's plenty of experienced old hands who are willing to help explain some things.

Hi Fifi, Welcome. I'm out in Belgrave. Not sure where you are. But I like throwing ideas around. Also do woodturning. Come up and see me some time.
I am a memeber of Knox Woodworkers, which also has women members. It is affiliated with "men's sheds" I think, but is not exclusively "men's". nd some of the "old" guys are just as inexperienced as you. :P
