Title: Hello from Germany
Post by: tux_linux on January 02, 2011, 06:09:06 am

Hello!

I'm new to the hobby - and new to this forum.

My name is Torsten, I'm living near Munich in Germany and I'm 35yo.

I did woodworking since quit some time and want to take it to a new level (at least for me...). Also I ran into this over of my local dealer for a Scroll Saw - couldn't resist  ;D

regards,
Torsten

Hallo Thosten, sch?n zu h?hren das es in Deutschland auch noch andere begeisterte unseres Hobbys gibt. Hallo ich bin Heiko und komme aus Friedland, liegt zwischen Hannover und Kassel.
Diese hier ist ein cooles Board, kannst viel lernen und bekommst auf jede Frage eine Antwort.
Zeig uns doch mal ein paar Projekte die du gemacht hast, wir sind alle interessiert daran.
So, und nun lass die S?gesp?ne fliegen.

Hallo Heiko!

Bisher gibt es nicht viel zu sehen - ich beginne ja erst. Mein erster Versuch war aber schon vorzeigbar - meine Frau wollte ihn unbedingt im Flur haben:

Vermutlich werde ich aber haupts?chlich Spielzeug herstellen, vermutlich auch einiges an Montessori-Material, da meine Kinder da im Kindergarten sind.

--------------------------------

So far there is not much to see - I just got started. My first attempt was already presentable - my wife wanted it to be present:

I will probably mainly produce toys, and probably a lot of Montessori materials as my kids are in Kindergarden there.

regards

Ist sehr sch?n geworden, hast du Sperrholz genommen? Das Geweih gebeizt?
Spielzeug ist immer eine sch?ne Sache, es gibt einige seiten wo du dir kostenlos Vorlagen runterlden kannst.

It looks very nice, is it plywood? have you staind the antlers? To make toys is always greate, you find some sites of free pattern wich you can download.

thanks, Rus.

@ heiko
Yes, it's simple birch plywood - the head is a tripled 8mm plywood, the back is doubled.
It's hard to find the right wood in Germany, this i got from Hornbach - their wood is far better than the others.

regards,
Torsten
