Hi all, long time lurkier first time poster, my name is Jason Wright and I have been reading these posts for awhile. I never had much interest in woodworking but I inherited some old tools and rather than sell them on ebay I decided it would be better to learn how to use them so have been doing a lot of reading and as all of these tools didn't come with a power cord attached that I would be a hand tool only woodworker. I have also been quietly amassing my tool collection and am ready to start on my first ever wood project, my workbench. So for the next couple of weeks/months/years I will be over in the shed portion of the website destroying timber.

Thanks for letting me in and I look forward to picking your brains.

Cheers Jason

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Jason".
There are a heap of members in Sydney and surrounding areas.....
Some of us have gathered at one of the forum members home at Katoomba about 4 times for a meet & greet.
The Sydney Wood Show is on next fortnight & the forum will have a stand, another opportunity to meet people..
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 [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork..
