THE AUSTRALIAN WOOD REVIEW

In the May 2011 No. 71 copy of AWR I am featured winning the national 'MY SHED" competition. I cant tell you how thrilled I was. And the prize was an awesome panel saw from Carbatec, Brisbane!

In the August 2011 No. 72 AWR copy, editor, Linda Nathan wrote a two page article on page 40 about my 'grass roots ' approach to woodwork. On page 80 of the same issue, I wrote a three page article 'Getting Started in Woodwork on a Budget.' Im very keen for people to know you can begin woodwork with just a few simple tools. I can tell you what you can get away with cheaply (eg a tape measure) and what you cant compromise on! (eg. a chisel).
