Hi all,
Over the last 12 months or so I've been trying to teach myself some woodworking after I found myself making a workbench for the shed because I was too tight to buy one, and I just loved it. I really enjoyed the process and since then have had a go at a few different things (all pretty simple), and I've picked up tools along the way as I've found I needed them. It's a slow process as I only have the weekends to play around, but I'm hooked. I've visited the forums here a few times to search for answers and ideas, but I'm still pretty low on skills and knowledge, so these questions might seem pretty basic here.
I've started out using my local hardware stores (bunnings, mitre 10) for my timber, but the selection is usually only pine or oak. I've had a bit of a play with both so far and I've been fine with starting out this way, but my question is where do I go from here? I would like to experiment with some more varieties and try some different things (so many great ideas on here) but I'm not real sure where to go, let alone what timber I should be asking for or expecting from local suppliers. I'm in Toowoomba in Queensland, about 2 hours west of Brisbane, but I'm just after an idea of where I should be going to and what I should be looking for or expecting, so if anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
Regards,
Shawn
