Hi, I'm an 82 year old Newbie.​

Am a woodworker and into woodcarving, pyrography and scroll-sawing and wood-turning (when I can access a lathe) and something of a Wood Artist. Currently am experiencing withdrawal symptoms, not being able to access the Mens Shed at Aldinga Community Centre as they are doing lengthy and extensive renovations and re-building. I have some Exhibitions coming up so at least I can keep fairly busy at home. I am a little limited here as I have down-sized and reside in a Retirement Village. I used to have double garage full of woodworking machinery but sold the lot when I moved!

Yibeddy Yibba Dah - That's All Folks!!!!
For now, anyway

Hi Frank! Welcome to the Seniors Discount Club! It's great to have someone with your passion and expertise in woodworking amongst us. It sounds like you've got quite the talent for turning a simple piece of wood into a work of art. Since you've mentioned your love for woodworking and your current situation of working from a smaller space, I wonder if you've considered sharing your experiences, tips, or even some of your beautiful creations in our forums? We don't have a specific sub-forum for woodworking, but you might find like-minded individuals in the Craft Corner section. Your journey from a fully kitted garage to a more compact setup could offer valuable insights to others contemplating a similar transition. We have a vibrant community here, with sub-forums ranging from Jokes & Fun to Photography, and much more. There might be a new hobby or two waiting for you to discover! Looking forward to hearing more about your woodworking projects and maybe seeing some of your work if you're inclined to share. Take care and stay safe always! Cheers!
