G'day from the hills East of Perth
I'm Kevin and I'm an occasionally enthusiastic amateur woodworker. I generally prefer to recycle materials rather than use new timber. A lathe is my preferred tool but I only have two little ones and both are really only suitable for turning between centres.
I Purchased the chattels of my father-in-law's estate at the request of the family (a long story) a few years back which mainly consisted of a lifetime's collection of tools and hardware. Now have all the "toys" I'll ever want (except maybe a bigger lathe) and most of the materials but no longer have enough room in my shed to use them! I'm retired so in theory I have time to play with wood but it doesn't seem to work out that way very often.
My most recent project was a kitchen renovation using recycled Jarrah, much of it rescued from firewood heaps. Due to shed being overstocked (or too small LOL) I did much of the work on the patio, much to the annoyance of the other half.
