Answers my question as to which to learn, thank you sir.

Sorry if this has been covered, Just wanted to ask peoples opinions for someone new on this subject. I've got a few projects on the go which I'm working on, one of which I could do with planning the wood down and I've been looking at the two options, but I was wondering and this is purely off...

Thoroughly enjoyed that pun! Also, don't want to come across like I'm bashing working in IT, I'm probably just having an Office Space moment :ROFLMAO:

Utterly blinding responses here, Really appreciate everyone's input on this and own experiences with doing this or working in the wood working field. I was just curious as to what would be involved, but I think I will continue to just do it as a hobby with the plans to maybe try and sell bits...

Thanks for all the responses guys, It definitely would need to be part time just with having a child and a lovely mortgage to pay haha, The change was kind of prompted due to not enjoying the IT career as much as mentioned, which yeah for the most part is probably due to a lot of company...

Question for all the folks out there, Kind of off topic but also on top, What are peoples opinions on changing careers late on life, is it doable or has anyone managed it? I only ask because I work in IT and having spent a good portion of my life in this line of work it's no longer as...

🙏 thank you sir, very kind of you to say, I was reading up about using pallet wood, so I'm going to keep an eye out for some and see if I can get them. I'm actually in the process now of asking my dad if we still have my grandads hand plane as he was a carpenter, hoping he still has some of...

Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome, This is what I've managed so far, not perfect but I was expecting it to be a lot worse if I'm honest :ROFLMAO: I just needed something to have next to the BBQ for when I'm cooking, but it has opened the gates now... if only wood was cheaper

Awesome, is that Macc way or Sandbach, or biddulph? They're the surrounding areas I know

Very good point, Just thinking what would be best for my budget, or maybe I should look at increasing my budget and getting one later down the line.

The model I've been looking at is a MS254SB and they're asking £70 for it, But, the same person is selling a Scheppach HM254X for £100, Apologies if the seller is on here as well btw, I just like to research everything before I shell out :geek:

Judging by the pics, It looks like they have been using it for wookworking projects in a garage, also looks fairly clean so it doesn't appear like it has been used on a work site but I could be wrong and it's a sliding mitre saw. It's mainly just going to be used on stuff like table furniture...

I'm sure this will have been covered, I used the search but I didn't come across anything so I thought I would make a nuisance of myself, so apologies in advanced. I want to start doing some more woodworking projects, mainly for the garden and all I have done so far has just been with hand...

Hi all, Complete beginner here from Cheshire who hasn't touched anything wood working related since school, and now through necessity I've built my first project which was an outdoor BBQ table, and have fully enjoyed the process. Hasn't come out perfect and I only had a hand saw available and...
