:UGday all,
Well, here goes, i'm a 39 y/o bloke livin in brissy, married, i've not done any woodwork for pleasure really since high school, i still have and use a segmented bowl of pine and rosewood, i doubt i could recreate with my current situation. Lookout wife, i may be on the warpath for a table saw and bandsaw (for starters).:oo:
I've lost my grandpop in november and he left me his lathe, i think its a gmc (not positive, i am picking it up next month) and a router. The situation has left me wanting to rekindle an interest back into all things wood. I've just finished making a queen bed from pine studding i had left over from a house extension, and i think it turned out quite well considering i only used the pine studs a drop saw and a drill.
So thats me, ive got questions aplenty, rusty ability, a mechanic by trade and little tooling, a great interest and perhaps even verging on a midlife thing (can i do that at 39? whats the ruling? someone told me 40 was the new 30:p...i dunno).
