    Default Hello from Sydney

    Hi everyone.

    Very knew to woodworking, and looking to get started on some projects to help hone my skills. Space is small at home so pretty limited with what I can fit in to the garage (now becoming the shop).

    Anyone have any suggestions for small projects to make that will help me out - I've heard having a go at doing hand made dovetails is a good start.

    Also interested to know where abouts I'd go to source some of the more expensive hardwoods. Local hardware store seems to basically only carry pine and plywood/mdf/melamine etc.

    Looking forward to getting stuck in.

    Cheers.

    Welcome to the forum.

    If you did managed to get to the working with wood show you would have seen a few suppliers of wood. Yes I do agree that the big hardware stores do not stock much in terms of hardwood.

    Take a look at the timber sub-forum TIMBER to get an idea of what is been milled and the Market Place THE MARKET PLACE for what is being sold.
