Greetings all in the wide wide world of wood.
My name is Ashleigh
I tripped over this site when looking for information on woodwork machinery:2tsup: just the place I need to be.
Have never done a post before (put lots in the ground-(vineyards) but not this way)
Have always had an interest in wood from a young age when my dad and I built a 6m trailer yacht.... this was so much fun doing
I met my wife years later who's dad was into carving (talc); lapidary and you guessed it wood...turning, restoring carpentry, marquetry, parquetry .....and lots of other words ending with 'try'.
Well he passed suddenly a few months back in his shed probably finishing a project for someone as he always did :o:cry4: Found him in the corner with a pencil behind the ear and fine grit paper close by....What a way to go:!:!
Feeling ripped of that he wasn't able to teach his grandson the "arts so fine" and my skills are pre-apprentice.
He showed me heaps but as you probably all know there is never enough time
I have been given the task of sorting the sheds...60'x30' x 2 standing room only!!
- 40 years of never throwing anything away so this is has to be the place to start...
I hope to clear a lot of surplus through here as well as learn some trade secrets on how to.... with wood
Hopefully I will bring happiness to those starting out that need some equipment basics
and able to bring even more to those who are looking for some machinery that is hard to find.
The tag round2it was for him as the 2 do list on the work bench when he left us was 3 A4 pages long and have started what I can
Regards Ash
