Hi All, at the age of 37 I’ve decided to get into doing some woodworking at home and I’m pretty pleased with my first few items, I’ve managed to make myself a desk and a bar top out of some river red gym slabs, thoroughly enjoyed the process so now I’ve bought myself a lathe and some chisels and I plan to learn slowly the art of wood turning.
I live in the Snowy Mountains NSW and plan to start using these forums as a great place to access others experience and knowledge to help me get started.

These are my first 2 pieces of work, I certainly learnt a lot about different finishes.
These 2 slabs came from the same tree however you wouldn't know it, just simply different finishes.

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum.
There are quite a few members across NSW with lots more across the rest of the country & the world.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you keep showing off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
The timber tops are beautiful.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork......
Cheers crowie
