Gday all

[calloh]

Gday everyone. Im Ryan or Calloh as im called. Im a 22 year old father of an 18 month old girl Lyla. And have another on the way, though very early days, less than 2 months. Ive been with my partner since we were 15. Im an operator at an aluminium extrusion plant in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

I bought my own house just last year and am just now trying to get my own small workshop and tools to get started with woodworking. I love timber, I want to be able to make anything I want at a really high quality (one day). I signed up here to get some advice on where to start. I dont have many tools yet but slowly want to have all I need. I was looking up what book to buy. Sort of an ultimate guide or a woodworking bible I can always refer to for the proper advice.

I look forward to gaining knowledge and one day handing down my knowledge.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. We all have to start somewhere, you are just getting your hands dirty so to speak. It does not all have to be done at once and I can tell you the tools will come little by little.
