Title: Working with wood - Maybe for REE or RUSS??
Post by: pigsatlesrues on June 11, 2009, 05:50:38 pm

This could be a Russ or Ree question here boys!

I am trying to find some useful links on Google for wood crafts. Bird tables, wall plaques, welly scrapers, simple benches, bird houses, that sort of thing.  Something suitable for someone interested for the first time to help them with their first project.  All I can find is links for advance things like tables and chairs and joining etc.  or courses.

Any help much appreciated.

Linz thanks so much that is great.  I can look again now asking a 'how to make'  question.  I can be so thick sometimes!!

The archives section (2nd button down on left hand side)on that last site is great - very tempting to try and I've never been interested in making anything before.

There is deffinately some girl power going on here - sorry Russ and Ree don't need you now!

I agree, the archives section is really good.  Excellent for beginners.  It is a fab little site, thanks again Linz!
