G'day all, I'm new to the forum and semi-new to woodworking.
My father was a chippy so i picked up some basics from him, but as i've recently bought a townhouse with a single car garage, i'm turning that into a mini workshop (very mini as i have to share it with the household junk).
I'm currently accumulating the basics (hand & power tools) from anywhere and everywhere that has decent quality for cheap.
One question i wanted to ask to get the ball rolling, I remember many years ago my Dad had a Makita Mitre Saw that you could flip in its stand and it would turn into a mini table saw (combination saws i think is the technical term), I've seen a few on UK tools sites, but was wondering why they aren't available in Australia? Unfortunately, Dad leant his to someone and can't remember who but if i track them down i want that thing back!!! was a great space saver!
