New from South Wales

[Berncarpenter]

Hi I have just joined your forum and thought I would introduce myself - I am self-employed carpenter/builder with a small garage workshop. I have a real passion for woodworking and the restoration and collection of tools & machinery. My work tends to be kitchen and bathroom renovations with the occasional extension . I am lucky to have some great customers who commission me to make some nice joinery pieces as well. As soon as I have fathomed out how to include photos I will post some of my latest work for you to see - I have been very impressed by the photos of your work and the way you help each other out with problems and queries. I hope to be involved in many of your ongoing topics but may be a while getting what I want to say onto the screen Please be patient with me!!
Many Thanks Bern.

Dont worry Hanser not planing on asking any awkward questions on sharpening i am quite happy with my results in that department. One thing i could do with a bit of help with though is picture posting ,is there a minimum amount of posts to do before i can get some photos on ? Cheers Bern

Taken me a while to get to grips with the photo posting but i think i have cracked it now .So here is some of my work.
One of my many tool boxes.

Pitch pine table made from reclaimed chapel pews

Hardwood door and frame with leaded glass fanlight

Cupboard to hide a boiler in the bathroom with a pullout door for dirty laundry.

Cut roof

I think that will do for now Cheers Bern

I am about 25 miles west of Cardiff Junction 37 M4 Porthcawl. CRAZIES ?

Cheers Bern

Hi Bern, don't let them worry you with talk of crazies. It may not be quite as reserved as the Haven but it is mostly a decent place to hang out. You will see many familiar names and even more in the older posts some go some pop back some storm off vowing never to return! Please post your workshop photos for those that don't use all of the forums. and Welcome (hammer)

Thanks for the welcome Tom
I am a bit green with forums ,but trying to get to grips with them and stretching my legs a bit. No one has explained to me over at the Haven what has happened in the past ,but i have sort of worked out that a few dummies were thrown.Off to fit a Velux roof light today and will try and get some workshop photos on later tonight.
Cheers Bern

Hang on a minute Bern... You're not fooling me,
Cardiff, voted 2nd wettest city in UK, and them pictures with blue sky ?

Welcome to the forum, that door looks fantastic!

 

[MrYorke]

When they built the barrage in Cardiff bay they also put up a huge partition wall and painted it blue. It's made everyone in Cardiff much happier so we all party on the weekend and eat kebabs in chippy lane
