Another skilled woodworker joins the community

Workshop community update #74

We have many talented woodworkers in the Workshop community, but it is fantastic to have another skilled maker join us.

Since joining last week, new member @woodalwaysworks has shared some wonderful projects, including a garden bench made from decking offcuts, a terrific entertainment unit using recycled timber, a clever ladder stool, some timber wall art and a delightful personalised toy box in the shape of a rubbish skip.

I'm sure all of the community is looking forward to seeing what you come up with next @woodalwaysworks, and also hearing about the origins of your username!

Some other members who have recently shared great work on the gallery include @Glenc’s ingenious transformation of an old rake into a necklace rack, a couple of lovely television units from the prolific @Yorky88 as well as a hall table, and a striking clock from @Super66.

Other highlights from the past fortnight on Workshop include:

• An excellent discussion on solar systems with battery storage

• Newbie @Luris got a good suggestion for adding shelving to walls in an old Queenslander home

• @Alicia asked about how to get more broccoli from her plants

• @antoallison asked for suggestions about soundproofing an internal brick wall to avoid future embarrassment

• Experienced member @Brad kicked off a new garden shed project

• @Flo54 received tips for deterring bandicoots from her garden but still has a unsolved mystery regarding unknown critters

• Newcomer @edspicer got help with adding hinges to a door, while @Catherine1 is also keen to install second-hand doors

• @Mick asked for suggestions about organising tools

• @CathD shared a video of an ingenious robot that can weed the garden

• @MichaelJ got advice from members on deterring graffiti from a laneway fence.

Many thanks to everyone who has participated in Workshop discussions recently. The members who received the most likes in the past two weeks were @woodalwaysworks, @Kev, @Yorky88, @Brad and @Rusty-Saw. Thanks again for your contributions.
