Hiya all!
Just a quick post to say 'hi' to everyone!
I've been a reader of the site for ages taking in all the project builds and W.I.P's (Its true that a picture can tell a better story!) and I find them fascinating!
I'm a bit of a latecomer to wood working with only realy doing a bit of DIY around the house as my 'day' job is in IT. I've found that looking at computer screens all day and managing networks doesn't seem to compare to making something that you can create and 'pick up' so to speak.
As a wannabe woodworker I've started to get a collection of power tools (sanders mainly! - for some unknown reason
) but nothing along the lines of peoples collection here but we have to start somewhere I guess . I've got myself a router and created my own router table (a-la 'The Router Workshop' on the woodworking channel) and have been playing around with that. Learning the hard way which side of the cutter to use after catapulting a length of wood half way across the garden :roll: I've also built a bookcase / cupboard for under the stairs.
I'm also a 'user' of Sketch-up - some of my little sketch-ups are here no final pictures as yet but I'm working on it
Hope I haven't rattled on too much and look forward to talking to you all soon.
Cheers
Wayne.
