G'day all. Brian here from Kalgoorlie. Recently retired (or made redundant) from years in the mining industry all over Australian, and now starting to do a bit of woodworking to keep me busy. Have a bit of gear in the shed (mainly hand tools at this stage) and looking around to see what I can do with it. Have also joined local men's shed where I have access to a pretty good range of woodworking tools. Looking to get a band saw and possibly a small lathe for home ................. just keeping my eye open at the moment to see what is available on a very small budget.

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Brian"....
There are quite a few members in Perth, across West as well as across the whole country & the globe.....
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.

Cheers crowie
PS - Keep an eye on "garage sales", "clearance sales", "deceased estates" and the like for good older tools at a fair price...good place to start your collection for the shed...
