G'day folks. As the title says I'm a complete newbie to woodworking having been a bit of a petrol head all my days. Had a go at retiring but got bored awfully quick so back doing an hour or two a day until later this year. Somehow or other I found my way here and I like what I see. My woodworking toolkit is sadly lacking and it consists of a dog rough cheapo tenon saw at 10tpi, three tired old Stanley chisels which were more at home scraping the remnants of gaskets off engines, a couple of old try squares and a Stanley tape measure. Obviously I need to spend a shilling or three if I want to cut anything more than a small tree branch.
For some reason I want to have a go at a Morris Chair like this but in pine as a hardwood item would be a bit of a challenge.

The last time I did any woodworking was school which was decades ago and I've no intention of buying any fancy power tools at the moment as I want to do it the old way so when I'm in town again I will buy myself some bits and pieces, eg, an oil stone, mallet, fine tenon saw and maybe a marking gauge but first I need to clear space.
