First post, Hi all :-)

[Paul.V]

Just thought i would say hello.

I found this site while searching for plans and advice on different things. i have found it most useful.

Seems very friendly on here, which is always good

i am only a hobbyist, making small things mainly, biggest so far was a coffee table for the front room

latest is a jewellery box for the SWMBO ( that made me laugh )

most of what i make is from scrap wood, or b&q bought cheap wood so sometimes it doesn't look as nice as i would like, though the new sanding disc/ linishing machine has helped alot, as i was sanding by hand before, took ages.

i have a few toys at present, though i would like a thicknesser/planer and band saw, so i'll likely be asking some advice for those

Welcome , I never had any powertools for 47 years apart from an electric drill and its accessories. Also they used to make lovely furniture in the 19th cent. without electricity either. So dont rush the machine buying scenario yet.

Hi Paul and welcome. There's nothing wrong with using scrap wood even if it's from B&Q :lol: You will soon loose the sand paper and convert to hand scrappers :wink: and DON'T forget we all like photos \/
