Hi, I'm Ken from Bordertown South Australia. I joined this group after browsing around your site and enjoying what I saw. I retired 3 years ago and joined our local Men's Shed.
Our particular shed caters for people with many varied interests but does have a quite few members who are very much into woodworking.
I had not done any sort of wood work since leaving school 54 years ago. I was completely at a loss as to what to do with myself since retiring and not really enjoying my retirement much at all.
Fortunately for me a couple of members decided they would show me "the ropes' so to speak.
I soon realised that I loved working with wood. While I am not into anything really intricate; thanks to a couple of gents who did not mind sharing and showing their skills to a "newbie" I have found a new passion in life.
I know I will get a lot from this forum. While I am not one to contribute on a regular basis I will be here and watching, reading and learning.
Thanks for accepting me, Ken
