Got up early this morning and was floating about the internet and found this site, looks like just my cup of tea! SO HERE I AM.
I am a Boilermaker presently working in the sugar industry- was in construction.
Home workshop has Myford 7.5 lathe, Ryobi Industrial drill press, Lincoln V160TP Tig Pulse welder, Hobart 380 amp tig pulse, BOC 200 Mig, Lincoln Weldandpower 225DC, BOC 40 plasma cutter, SAF 140 Inverter welder, Triton 2000 work centre with table extension and router table- and lots of power tools! I am ready for the projects to begin! Just got to find a bit more time..... you know how it is?

Welcome to the forum. We all start from somewhere and time is always short, until we retire and then do not know what to do with ourselves? So I have been told.

Still finding time to work, work and work. And the odd bit of wood being modified. :U

Thanks guys, my wife is from Mackay- still has a heap of family down there. I live near Gordonvale out of Cairns. Working 6 days a week doesn't help with the time for projects but it certinaly pays for the tools to do them.

Welcome WBW, it sounds like the METALWORK Forum (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/) and welding forum (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f160/) are going to be your "cups of tea"

Posting some pics of your setups when you get the hand of the place will go down real well.

Cheers
