Hello, London calling

Postby Big Bruce » Fri Aug 26, 2011 4:10 pm

Hi everyone
Been reading your posts for a few weeks now so in for a penny in for a pound!
Having just given up my previous hobby(playing guitar and singing in pubs). I decided I needed a new hobby to keep me from under my wife's feet.
Back in 1969 when I was at school I remember making a wooden polar bear so naturally woodwork was my obvious choice. Next- what to build? Lots and lots of shelves in every nook and cranny of the house, one wonky side table with tapered legs (one of them on the wrong way round so ever so slightly unbalanced).

Then I came upon your site fully of friendly but more importantly forgiving people and I thought "this would be a nice project". so here I am.

I am really just starting out now and I am at the stage of buying expensive tools and sneaking them into my shed when the wife is not looking.

I have put in a bid for a trailer on EBAY so "starters orders" and were off.

Looking forward to bending your ears......Bruce

Hello Al

Nice to meet you. So to speak! Thanks for the welcome.
Yes it does seem you have not to far to travel to enjoy your beautiful countryside.

Will of course keep you posted on my progress

Cheers

Welcome aboard! Now is a great time to start a build. You can have it done for next summer. What's your situation with a shop and tow vehicle? Looking forward to seeing what you do. Doug
