I am new to woodworking and hope to one day build a small boat using traditional techniques. I am starting with a few simpler projects like saw benches! So far I have enjoyed reading through 'The Anarchist's Tool Chest' and obtaining a nice Jack Plane from the nice gang at the Hand Tool Preservation (etc.) Society.

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "minty".
There are a heap of members in & around Melbourne as well as across the rest of Victoria..
The Melbourne Wood Show is on in October, great place to meet forum members as well as pickup a bargain or some knowledge.
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [work in progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.
Cheers, crowie
PS - Watch out for the Melbourne Wood Show
