Thread: Looking for some assistance

Hi John, and welcome to the forum.

What suburb do you live in?

Al

Doncaster. But can travel

welcome to the board, im local only in warrandyte, but I would be of no use as I am only a newb, I think our resident rokking horse maker is in donvale, so there are a couple of guys in the area.

it might help the guys to know what type of work you were looking at, cabnetry, turning, carving ot just making sawdust (Thats all I seem to do)

good luck anyhow.

Thanks,

The project list from the Boss of the House includes an Entertainment Centre, some jewelrey boxes, and melamine cupboards.

I am really good at turning wood into firewood and sawdust ;-)

John.

Wow, you're one up on me. I haven't progressed to the firewood stage yet. SWMBO say i make wonderful sawdust though. MAybe if I keep practicing, I'll progress to firewood.


P.S. Welcome aboard.

Best advice I can give John, is to join a club like The Waverley Woodworkers or our Triton Woodworkers Club (you don't have to have a Triton) in Holmesglen.

There are also courses in woodworking and turning if that's your thing, in fact a beginners workshop starts next weekend at Holmesglen TAFE so maybe give them a call to see if it's suitable and that they have vacancies.

It depends on how much you know and what you want to do. Let me know if you want further details.

Welcome to the forums, you'll learn lots here, particularly if you ignore most of the stuff I put up

Though peer pressure may have you painting your tablesaw orange and belting it with a hammer so it doesnt cut straight anymore .

cheers

Hay nothing wrong with the orange stuff, except maybe its habit of breeding.

Your list is very similar to mine, will be starting a jewlery box soon, I purchased a selection of precut silky oak panels at the working with wood show, so keep an eye open, and I will be posting pictures (this will be my first so we will see how I go). As for the entertainment unit. It has been on the drawing board for about 5 years and we still havent decided on a design...

You will find A number of the members here work in IT, myself included. What sort of equipment do you have? Maybe the guys here could give you some suggestions on any important equipment you are missing (Gumby, Oz and Grunt leave it alone).

Also are you going darkside or are you happy working with machines

I was expecting an equipment joke.....

I would never joke about anyone being under equiped. :eek:

Having a small penis on the other hand ( pun intended ) is a different story.

Oh goody, I can make fun of him, my name didn't get mentioned.

Now where will I start.
