Gday I'm Dave from Northmead (just North of Parramatta)
I've got a few projects WELL underway:
- building a timber fence out the front (using old fence posts from a horse paddock)
- renovating a garage into an office (using old floorboards for the ceiling)
- building a cubby house for the kids
- locating parts for an Ozito planer/thicknesser (guard, fence, dust collector, crank etc)
I've got a soft spot for Australian timber and recycling but I'm not religious about it. I'd love to retrieve and mill logs one day - in fact if you do that kind of thing and you'd like a labourer for a few days - let me know! I've got a car.
I struggle to stay motivated with my longer projects sometimes so I'd like to find a mate to work with - help him with his stuff, get his help with my stuff etc. If you're in Sydney or surrounds and want to collaborate like that, please send me a message.
I've just started some lessons at Terry Gleeson's woodworking school in Dural. I'm gaining a lot from that. In particular I'm learning a lot about hand tools.
I only just discovered Carbatec - I've had a pretty bad Bunnings addiction - so Carbatec could be hard to quit. I'm a little less financial these days so I'm also interested in woodworking on a budget, second hand tools etc.
These forums are great.
