Hi all,
I signed up a month ago and have been watching with interest the discussions. I am trying to find more time in my schedule to get out to the shed more as I enjoy woodworking and have started to get back into woodturning after a long, long break. I was directed to this site by a mate and I have been impressed with the discussions.
The ideas, suggestions and solutions I have read and seen so far have been of great value.
Keep up the great work and when I finally finish my first bowl I will post it for some constructive criticism.
Regards
Mark (Traralgon)

Hello Mark,
I think there are a few people from our corner of Victoria in the forum. ( I am near Churchill)
Well worth going to the Woodworking show in Melbourne if you have never been before. 12 days time at Jeff's Shed see link below.

Thanks Crowie, I have enjoyed the forum and learnt heaps. I even started an acronym thread as there are heaps in use. Which brings me to my question. What does "WIP" mean.
