Hi everyone.

I am relatively new to woodwork so I still have heaps to learn. I live in Melbourne Australia and started woodworking classes about three years ago. I have just set up a workshop and am concentrating on small pieces of furniture and jewellery boxes.

I have a Laguna platinum saw, 6" jointer, suitcase helical head thicknesser, 14" bandsaw, drill press, assorted hand tools and a Clearview cyclone to try and keep the dust under control.

Finding woodwork has been great for me and has given me a new lease of life because after retiring from work I wandered around for two or three years not knowing quite how to fill in my days - would recommend it to anyone!

Hi David,

Welcome - glad to have you here!

Sounds as though you've got a nice woodworking setup. When you're ready to share some of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them. Please post them directly in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
