Hi from SA
Hi all,
Thought i'd better say hello and introduce myself.
I'm a keen home renovator living in the Adelaide Hills.
I've been interested in carpentry and woodworking for a while now which is just as well as my house is Cypress clad pole frame and quickly learn't these houses require constant attention.
I've built decks, repaired decks, renovated kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, timber framing, general carpentry and a quite a bit of landscaping/paving.
I enjoy working with hardwoods like spotted gum, kapur & blackbutt but I'm still coming to understand some of the rarer species and their uses.
Cheers for now.

Hi, WVB
Thats a nice list of hardwoods for sure. But that cypress pine can be a pain can't it.
Hows the water over there, has it improved at all?The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

I wouldn't know if its improved if you're talking about the mains supply
as i'm on tank water, about 86,000 litres.
We,ve had a fair bit rain lately better than average for august, which has topped up my supply nicely.

Hi WVB...
Welcome....you've found a great forum and some great folk here.
So, sounds like your into a lot of flat woodwork...word of caution, don't get into woodturning! It's addictive and it'll ruin your love life and finances...bigger lathe, accessories for the lathe, tools, etc, etc, etc. never ending
At any rate, have fun!
Cheers,
Ed

Help
Hi How are you. I am also from SA and I was wondering if someone would know where I could get a work bench. I have no idea as to how to make one and I would like to use it for my Picture Framing Hobby I have just started. I thought there might be a second hand place around or something like that. I would appreciate any help Thanks
Rob
