Sourcing timber for my first project - workbench
Hi Everyone,
I'm very new to this whole world of timber and woodworking and I figured my first project should be a workbench so I've found some plans for a bench I like, which TBH is probably a bit of overkill and more advanced than something I should start with but I figure if I stuff it up I can work out how to fix it.
My biggest problem isn't actually building the bench but working out what timber I should use and where to get that timber. I'm not sure pine is the way to go however I also don't want to send a small fortune on the timber either. I'm happy to do the work to smooth out the timber if it is not ready for joining, etc as I figure this is a good way to learn how to work with timber.
So any advise/locations where I can buy good quality timber at a reasonable price around the mornington peninsula (I live in the Frankston area) would be much appreciated.
FYI - this is the bench I'm looking to make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va8tlFpnhRg
