    Default Hi From ShazL

    Hi

    I'm known as ShazL (longish story, pm me if you want to know) and live in Geelong (Victoria, Australia).

    I started in woodwork at school. Recently hubby (Noel) and I joined a viking re-enactment group and found woodwork again. He mostly deals in metalwork, while I do the other crafty type things, I'm currently learning leatherwork too.

    I'm fairly competent using hand tools, but own quite a few power tools now, so I'm learning how to use them.

    I'm halfway through my first bench and a viking chest. Hopefully the next project will be a workshop before winter

    ShazL

    Hi Shazl, welcome to the forum.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    Hmm, no. I do, however, hold the key to the strong box, just got to build the box and the lock...LOL

    Thanks for the welcome!!

    Funny you should mention boat building, I do have a couple of boats in desperate need of repair - an ok and a mirror. One job at a time.....

    Default Greetings from Dubh Linn?

    Welcome aboard.
    Vikings in Geelong? Whatever next?


    Is it just a re-enactment social type thing (fine if it is, we've all got to have our own fun) or does your group get into traditional crafts as well?
    We don't know how lucky we are......

    I belong to NVG Hodgeon in Belgrave - not our local group NVG Dubh Linn - between work and other commitments our local group didn't quite fit into our real life (

    But we do a fair bit of traditional craft, tablet weaving, hand sewn linen and leather goods, lots of wood furniture,chests, etc, all a new learning curve for me - this is only our first year. PM me if you want further info )

    On a good note, my table is finally finished - just now adding a peg board. I have no idea how to post photos, or I would.

    Happy woodworking

    ShazL

    Top stuff.....if you're doing it with power tools, that's fine but if you're working with traditional methods pop down to the Hand Tools-Unpowered section if you've got questions (not for me, for one of the members that knows things ) or, better still, techniques to share.

    I
    have no idea how to post photos, or I would.
    Digital camera + PC + photo hosting site + this button and muddle your way through from there.
    We don't know how lucky we are......
