Welcome to your Workshop. It is great to have you as a member of the community. We encourage you to say hello and introduce yourself.
Please reply to this post and tell us a bit about yourself. Whatever information you feel comfortable sharing is fine.
You might like to tell us about your current D.I.Y. and garden projects, your work, your passions, your hobbies, your dreams, what you struggle with, what you hope to learn from this community, and/or your favourite ice cream flavour.
And for something truly revealing about yourself - tell us what you call a barbecued sausage served on a single piece of bread.
We look forward to your post and getting to know you. Thanks for joining the discussion.

Hi Community,
Last year, as I was about to return to Oz from the UK, my daughter sent me a photo of a dining table made from recycled pallets. It also came with a hint - as she was about to move into her first apartment! So, I acquired a stack of pallets (most of them still in the driveway) and began. Some months later, the table emerged, and a few months after that, a coffee table for the other daughter.
In the meantime, I have also indulged myself and bought a whole lot of big tools - mitre saw, router table and planer. So, I'm delighted to have stumbled on this group as I begin to upskill for the inevitible requests for more pallet furniture from the family.
I hope that in due course I can give, as well as get, advice.
Cheers
Kevin
Wonderful to have you join us @KevinC. You might like to also pop those two table projects on the gallery so that they are more widely seen by other Workshop community members. We certainly have loads of members keen on sharing ideas and inspiration for pallet creations.
Please let me know if you ever need a hand getting the most from the site. I'm sure you'll get plenty of value from browsing the posts and joining in the discussions.
Welcome,
Jason
Hi Community,
I’m Deb and my DIY/renovation experience has mostly come from helping my Dad (dead keen on DIY) and 3 house renovations. My working career has been pretty varied and includes some time spent in the Big Green Tin Shed.
I’ve started renovating my 1970s Unit (and yes I have a kitchen to match some of those I’ve seen here 😂 ). Because I’m currently unemployed due to a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis last year (and at 63yo not likely to gain employment), I will be doing all the work that doesn’t require a tradie. To be done: laundry, kitchen, bathroom and toilet, starting with the laundry.
I’m very blessed, summer view from my lounge room - as we’re currently experiencing the “polar low” it’s more like Antartica today, cheers Deb
What a spectacular view! Many thanks for introducing yourself, Deb (@Mathy). It's wonderful to have you join the community.
We're looking forward to sharing your renovation journey with you. We have loads of helpful members who will be more than happy to assist you along the way with information, advice and inspiration.
Perhaps you'd like to start by hitting the Start a discussion and sharing your plans for the laundry? If you could post photos and some detail about what you'd like to achieve, that would be a great way to start.
