Chris here - you'll see my 'handle' actually is more related to what I do!! I've been recycling for a few years now and have a passion for woodworking so the two go together. Most of my work is on refurbishing furniture that is bought off local people and then tidied up for resale. I've recently been making some Vertical Propagators as well using the old plastic milk containers etc and having a few sales on those help.
I've only ever used Triton - main tooling for Saw bench and Router work with a mix of Makita, Milwaukee and Ryobi for other power tools etc
I'm blessed with a Double Car Garage - that's always too small - and recently built a Carport so I could actually continue to work!! :D (I'm sure most you dont have that problem ...eh?

So from time to time i'll drop in and read whats happening on the WW scene and watch, learn and ask some dumb questions if I feel the need arises ~; )

Cheers

G'Day, Welcome "to the Great South Land" & to a top forum "Chris".
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.
Cheers from On Top DownUnder [the big island], crowie

PS - Like most of us, you seem to need a bigger shed to help with the recycling......
