G'day from Waiheke, NZ

[jcb]

Hi all, just stumbled acroos the forum looking for info on epoxy resin and filling knot holes and looks like a heap of usefull info here so thought I would join up.

I am originally from Canberra, born and breed for 36 years, but married a kiwi and she wanted to fly home so ended up on a little island just off Auckland, Waiheke Island. Talk about about paradise.

I am a builder here with far too little time to indulge my furniture making interest, until retirement that is :) Anyway hoping to pick some brains soon on sander choices and finishing techniques for a few little projects in the wind.

Thanks

Thanks Justin.

I have been here for 5.5 years and really have not had a day out of work. In saying that, there are a lot of locals that suffer due to the preference of fishing on a calm day or surfing on a rough one, which does not leave a lot of time for work :rolleyes:, but I guess that is why some people move to the island, lifestyle over employment, helps me heaps :2tsup:.

I do tend to cop a bit of rubbish about moving this side and not staying in Aus to make the millions everyone over thinks we make back home :?, not sure where that exactly is, I never found it :no:. Also get nailed over the Wallabies and Tri-Nations perfomance but I say we are saving ourselves the the World Cup...
