I have been a member of this forum for a while now and its taken a little time to get the computer skills up to scratch. i am more of a make things person than a press the button man,anyway here now.:U Just to fill you in i have a small business,just me and my imaginary friends.( it happens when you work solo ) Most of what i do is JARRAH this and JARRAH that if screws were made from JARRAH i wauld probably use them to.
My most usefull machine is a slabbing machine as my timber is nearly all slabs, all sourced from farmers in the south west of wa,lovely peaple always get scones and a cuppa. Anyways don't get upset if i take a bit of time answering threads cos i am in my workshop:~ Great forum and hope to contribute in the future.

Hi Paul and welcome, my usual question is where are the pictures of your work but if the computer skills are lacking a little I guess that may be a problem. But you can, phone a friend, ask the audience or just have a go. Good luck.

Hello again
Finally with a bit of help managed to put some photos together .I thought it best to throw in a mix of very different pieces which will give a good overall view of what I do.
I will give a brief description on finishes.
Coffee table, Mirrors, Clock, Wine bar, Weather instrument display, is finished with Becker acroma 307 two pack
Hallway table is finished with Feat and Watson Fine Rubbing Oil with Proofseal base
Red Baltic Pine Table finished with Poly Stuff . That is what my wife wanted.
The dresser is finished with Danish oil then wax
THE BAR as it is called by its owner is finished with two pack poly on the working surfaces and Becker 307 on the rest. The photos of finished bar did not come out to good to much flash.
The display unit with the inlays is finished with a light coat of Howards orange oil followed with several coats of Feed and Wax.

Thats me done for now and look forward to any comments that’s made

Regards, Paul

Believe me ,in the time its taken me to do this I cauld have built something
