Hi from Sydney
G'Day All,
Been reading alot of the posts here recently and getting a lot of great ideas and thought it would be great to join the community.
Personally i have a garage which the car unfortunately can't get down the driveway into on an account that a tree next to the driveway has grown to large (before i moved in) and hence it was a sad day telling my wife that i would have to make use of it as my woodwork shed instead
Got a few bits and pieces as most novices do, maybe a few more bits of power than most, bandsaw, rotary drill press, disc sander etc. But still missing lots !!!
Next on the list a nice Thicknesser...
My next project (of which i'm looking for some idea's for wood for) is a door harp, which i've just bought the zither pins and wire for from a music shop...
Anyone got some suggestions, perhaps a piece of Jarrah ?
Also where are the best timber places in Sydney ?
Thanks
Vandalix

G'Day & Welcome "Vandalix",
to a top forum full of very help & knowledgable blokes and ladies.
Sorry I can't help on the timber selection,
I just make toys from what timber I can get and recycle it.
Enjoy your woddwork.
Have a heap of fun setting up your shed.

Welcome
I see you are one of us instantly using cunning, guile, lies to get your shed.
Timber well my first choice although he's not in Sydney but his brother is (do a search for Greg Ward) this is Mal Ward Boutique Timbers shoot him an email and see what he can do.
otherwise you have Trend Timbers Mulgrave (Windsor way), Anagoat Marricville ? Australian Hardwoods Millperra,

Welcome to the forum, what a shame about not being able to park your car in your garage..
Reality is no background music.
