Hi my names rob and working with timber is in my blood, my dad was a shipwright and builder, my great grandad was carpenter my great uncles were timber fellers and barn builders , our first relative in oz was married to a freed convict who was and Australian Cedar feller and my two sons are apprentices in our building company that I started in 1990.
We restore heratige buildings in Newcastle and the lower hunter.
I've just got my workshop back in order after years of it being used as a general dumping ground for my kids bikes, surfboards,skate ramps etc.
But I stood up to them and have reclaimed my mancave and am going to sit in it and watch tele, drink beer, spin stories with my mates , look lovingly at he new tools ive just bought and old ones i have inherited and ponder on what things I can create " one day"
Hope I can be of assistance and I'm sure I will learn a lot from the many knowledgable members never too old to learn.
Oh well off for a surf to wake me up.
Have a great day
