Workshop community update #89
Hi all,
“Possibly the greatest thing about D.I.Y. for me is learning something new,” says Roy Quinsey in our recent interview. “I’m always hungry for new building skills, and having a knock-about at a D.I.Y. project is my favourite way to learn.”
Roy was also pleased to discover the Workshop community. “It’s a bunch of helpful Aussies ready to lend you their time to help you with D.I.Y. problems.”
Feel free to post your D.I.Y. questions anytime you need a hand. It's wonderful that helpful members like Roy and many others are always happy to share their knowledge and experience whenever they can.
