Hi all,
I’ve just joined this week and am looking forward to getting to know the community and the Space. My main interest is in all things wood and woodworking, and my current long-term project is to make furniture for a farmhouse that I’m re-building - I’ve got lots of old oak and elm beams that I can’t use for the structure but want to make sure they are used there. I’ve mainly worked with power tools in the past - the usual saws, sanders and drills etc but also a heavy duty planer/thicknesser and bandsaw. I’m also in the process of doing woodworking coursework related to hand tools (dovetails and other joints, planing, and furniture making). I look forward to getting to work with the equipment and tools in the Space and, I hope, helping other people learn how to use them too.
