Hi Every one
Hi My name's Mark I am very new to woodwork forums,infact very new to Australia.
Coming here was my first ever trip by plane !
I have had a pretty much on-off relationship with woodworking over the years and was more off than on.
I am currently trying to survive financially making thinks in wood,and not finding things too easy.
I've had a few small commissions since arriving.
I went for a couple of job interviews here in Perth but it's not the kind of enviroment I like or am indeed used to.My current workshop has one emplyee,just me.
Anyway enough wingeing pom from me please feel free to pass judgement on my past and current endeavours.

Wow Mark, If that's what you call an "on and off" relationship with woodwork, pack up your day job and start earning a very good living from such excellent examples of wood craftsmanship.
Cheers, Crowie

Welcome to Australia and the WW Forum, hope something comes along for you job wise soon, these examples of your work are a good indication that you put a lot of time and commitment into things you do so any employer would be silly not to hire you.
