Hi,
I have been around for a little while sussing out the site and action. I now feel as though I know some of you. There are some talented members.
My interest in wood and tools started with a fretsaw and making galleon ship models when aged about 11 and evolved further from the initial necessity to save money and DIY when first married. That was many years ago and I have made many things including major home extensions and renovations plus a sailing boat and a timber holiday house. I currently prefer making traditional furniture and period mechanical clocks. I have a good range of both hand and power tools plus a metal lathe and gas welding gear. I have to learn how to properly use the new mig welder I have just purchased.
Hopefully I can contribute in some way.
Cheers
Peter
