    Default Hello from Doveton, Australia

    Hi all,

    Unfortunately I missed out on any woodworking mentorship when growing up, althought I've always tried to build things with varying levels of success. I bought my first house a couple of years ago, and have since successfully built a couple of pergolas and other things - all over researched and WAY over engineereed (can never be too safe eh!).

    I've found this site to be a great resource and a source of the mentorship and skills transfer that just doesn't seem to get passed down any more. Needless to say, I try to involve my kids in my projects as much as I can.

    Cheers!

    Mike

    Welcome aboard. There is plenty of advice to be had here. Some of it is even worth taking notice of.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    Welcome to the forum.


    I guess reading about something can be a little differrent to actually being shown. So do not be concern about asking too many questions, no such thing as a dump question.
