    Smile Perth Boy!

    Hey Guys,

    Just joined, look forward to your input into a few projects and working I will have in the future.

    As a reference to the title 'Perth Boy' I am only 15, will be 16 next year, though I am already swept up by this amazing craft.

    I have been doing woodwork for about 2-2.5 years now, at school mostly but I just got my own work space setup in the garage (nothing fancy, but it does the trick) so now I may be able to turn out some higher quality projects.

    I have just completed a Jarrah planter box for my Mum, which has take about three weeks to complete (only because I have only had 2 hours a night after school) and look forward to more projects like it.

    If any of you are interested in seeing the planter box, just give me the hint and I will post some pictures.

    Thanks WM

    Cheers Guys,

    I appreciate the compliments.

    Going to put some plants in it today so it should look better than a bland old box.
