    Default G'day from Hobart

    Hi to all.

    44 year old whose woodwork credentials are a botched pencil case in about Grade 7. Have always wanted to be able to do something a bit creative, so went out and bought a few basic tools and some timber and built myself a bench. These forums were really helpful and interesting, so I joined. I hope to accumulate a few more tools and undertake some more projects, as I really enjoyed putting my bench together, albeit with a lot of trial and a lot more error.

    I guess that buying a couple of books on some basic woodworking skills, and outlining some projects might be a good kick off point? Grateful for any guidance.

    Cheers, Masha

    Hi Masha, welcome to the forum. Yes books can help and you can learn a lot from this forum and a good idea is to google some projects on utube,theres some interesting vids out there that can give you a few ideas. Great to have you aboard

    Welcome to the forum.

    That's a good way to start with a few tools. I know that can get out of hand and soon you will have lots of tools. I know that I am saving to buy tools.

    Welcome to the forums Masha.

    Apart from reading and viewing try and join a
    woodworking/woodturning club. You will meet many
    new friends and learn heaps. Good luck!
