Hello from a hobby woodworker

Hi there!
I'm from South Australia, learning the ropes and making some things along the way.

The interest began 14 years ago in high school furniture making as I'm sure it did for a lot of people haha.
Since then I've spent the past two years slowly buying machines and making a couple peices for friends and family.

Currently I'm trying to restore an old OMGA Radial 600 and building a new octagonal aquarium cabinet out of some old Douglas Fir that my dad collected 20+ years ago.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this community :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I'll be making a thread for my current woodwork project and the resto tomorrow :).
Truth be told the resto only gets worked on when I have time between other projects, and I've hit a bit of a snag with that currently.

But for now heres a few things I've made:

Attachment 472211
Jarrah coffee table with an oil finish.

Attachment 472212 Attachment 472213
Jarrah picinic table with magnetic folding legs.

Attachment 472217 Attachment 472218
More Jarrah, cat scratching tower for my sisters royal cat.

Attachment 472214 Attachment 472215
Oregon (Douglas Fir) floating entertainment unit, I'm quite proud of those mitres haha.

Attachment 472219 Attachment 472221 Attachment 472220
And finally a few things, a balcony table made from a steel frame and pallet timber, a set of shelves from Oregon and galv pipe and lastly I had a go at cladding our balcony ceiling.
