Hi from South London

[Weekend worrier]

Hi all,

A long-time lurker, figured it was time to get involved. Been woodworking for a number of years but progress has been at such a glacial pace I'd still consider myself a beginner - going to step things up this year, build a workshop-shed and taking on more demanding projects.

I know where the search button is too, so hopefully not too many repeat questions from me... :eusa-whistle:

Hi Dan,
Welcome to the Haven from NW France. We like workshop builds around here, as you have no doubt seen, so take plenty of photos as you go along.

Thanks Andy, I will. No doubt there'll be a couple of questions arising from the build too.
I see you're in Calvados département. I lived and studied in Caen many years ago, nice part of the world.

Hi Dan and welcome aboard.

Questions are good so ask away, and we love pictures (even if we can't get them to come in the right way all the time, but we're working on that... :eusa-whistle: )

Welcome Dan, I suppose it’s good that you only worry at weekends lol

Welcome Dan.
Lots of good advice available here.

Yep we like it here. we are mid way between Caen and Cabourg. Eldest daughter currently studying at the Uni in Caen with another daughter trying her best with an online course from there.

Welcome Dan. One more post and you're over the clunky anti-spammer hurdle.

I seem to gave acquired the mantle of shed guru, so if there is anything you'd like to discuss about your proposed build, feel free. I've got a couple of "stickies" in the Workshop Build sction of the forum which might be of some use.

Hi Dan

You're not so far from me and if this is Telegraph Hill in Lewisham, my business partner has her place not far away either (so I am quite often in your area). Look forward to seeing your projects on here and will help if I can. Adrian

 

[Weekend worrier]

Thanks very much all, and what a nice warm welcome maybe I don't feel bad about posting the odd question after all (I'm sure there will be loads...)

Can't yet work out how to tag another member but:

Adrian - yep, that's the hill! And thanks for the offer. Let's see what projects emerge - got a few in the design stage right now.

MikeG - thanks, no doubt I will, got a lot of research to do first...

Incidentally Dan, each time I see your username I wonder what “worries” you about weekends that does not worry you in the week. Maybe you meant “weekend warrior “? :lol:

It is indeed a deliberate mangling of 'weekend warrior'... believe me, my worrying isn't just confined to weekends ha :lol:

Ah! Maybe once you get working with wood there might be less sources of worry. Let’s hope so.
I often find my self agonising (worrying?) over design detail when I should just get into the workshop and make some sawdust and let the drain look after itself lol

Good luck
