Hi All...

I've had some great information / advice from this forum over the years and never posted... so, a thank you to start with! :)

My name is Paul and I live in the Blue Mountains near Bilpin (just outside of Sydney). Amongst technical roles previously, I was a professional woodworker for some time, making custom furniture and cabinets for clients around Australia. I've since sold that business and now run a company importing hand tools, woodworking from a home workshop for fun now.

My technical roles birthed a personal love of CNC, both designing/building them and woodworking obviously also. But as I get old (ha), I'm loving the peaceful nature of working with hand tools. Also spent some time making surfboards and boats when younger, so have experience with epoxy and poly (as much as I dislike working with it).

Anyways, enough blabber, looking forward to posting some personal woodworking projects... just started a large vanity for the gf that I'll post shortly :U
