Doc58 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Hi everybody. I'm Doc from Australia. I make wooden toys for a living so don't do a lot of the intricate scrolling that I see here. Most of my work consists of drawing around a template and cutting said piece out usually on 19mm or 35mm pine and adding wheels or something. Some puzzles and a variety of 'sets' - animal families, dolls house folk and the like. Occasional portrait or commission work. I have a 21" and 30" Excalibur but actually use my 30" jobby for most of my work (it copes nice with long hours at a time cutting), since blade changes are so easy anyway and I don't have to walk to the other end of the workbench to use the 21". Yeah, lazy AND old Anyhoo, I'm hoping to help any new folks because there was so much I didn't know when I first started and I'd love to share it. Also not afraid to learn something new Should also apologize in advance for renewing old posts because I just know it will happen lol Edited December 28, 2018 by Doc58 Added an apology. orangeman, Oges, Jim Finn and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'm always glad to welcome a new Aussie mate. Do you happen to know Peter Crowie, I know Australia is pretty big but he is a wood worker and likes to make toys. Anyway, very glad too have you join us, and I look forward to seeing some pictures of your toys. Doc58 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I do know OF Crowie - we are in a few different woodwork fora but I don't actually know him personally. Doc from Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
