    Default Newbie from Sydney

    G'day all, finally getting around to saying hello.
    Working off a pair of saw horses and trying to work up some basic skills, acquiring some tools and dreaming of a bench build.
    On board to learn everything really!
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    Welcome Sandy. A basic bench is all that is needed to make life a bit easier, and then look at building a more sophisticated one down the track once you have got some of your wish list completed.
    Woodworking is a great pastime and I can't get enough of it after all these years. Always wanting to learn more skills and do a better job.

    Thanks all for the kind words.
    By way of an update I've 'acquired' some F17 Vic Ash, as well as some hardwood fence posts. I'm in the very lucky position of having a fanatic woodworker in the family so it's off to his place to surface and size. The idea (pipe-dream/wishful piece of thinking) is to build the Schleining Essential workbbench from Fine Woodworking. I'll make sure to add a thread in the workbench section with plenty of photos.
