Hello....

[Darrellx]

Hi All


I have been a visitor here, on and off, for the last 12 months or so. I have found the resource very good, so I thought I should join. I don't have a lot to contribute at the moment, other than questions.


By way of introduction, I live on the Gold Coast; I work in Brisbane; I have a small property on the southern downs east of Warwick. I have always enjoyed working with wood/timber and have never been any good at metal work. My preferred "wood-working" tool at the moment is my Shindaiwa chainsaw, which one day soon will be upgraded. (Also on my wishlist is a small mill like a Lucas.)


I obtain most of my rough timber from my property. The previous owner(s) seem to have ring-barked a lot of trees and left them standing. So I have a reasonable supply of well seasoned, air-dried timber. For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been re-vegetating as I remove the dead trees. So far, I have replanted Red Cedar, Forest Redgum, Tallowwood, Yellowbox, Rosewood, Silky Oak and White Mahogany along with a small selection of fruit trees.


Thanks. And what a great forum you have created.

Buddy, friend, pal - Welcome aboard!!!

that timber sounds great, if you want to share some ;)

If you want to meet a few from the forum and some from other places who share a passion for Wood Working you may like to check this out.

At this time it looks like we will have a variety of competent woodworkers there with skills in flat work, wood turning, carving and perhaps milling.

It will kick-off about lunchtime Friday and run thru till Sunday (if some want to stay Sunday night that is fine too)

Opportunity to spend one on one with some of these and whoever else is there and willing to share there time and expertise.

The invitation for you and whoever comes - bring some tools, bring some wood (these are optional but desired if possible) you can sell, swap, work with it or just watch others. <<<<<<< Down here 'buddy', dont know how to do colours and bold from the app, but did you notice that bit there. Bring some down to sell.

Mandatory if you come - a smile, willing spirit, desire to have fun learn and enjoy yourself.

Hope to see you there, if cant make it we'll see you round the forum and who knows maybe at some other event

Take Care
