Hi Everyone,

Having been a member for around 10 years and gained a lot of very helpful advice from the Forum I thought it was about time I made a contribution.

Although I pursued a different working career I have always been interested in woodwork. Before I retired, and with the help of a friend with a bandsaw mill, I accumulated a reasonable quantity of Celery Top Pine and Blackwood which had been salvaged from clear fell logging operations.

This supply then required the construction of a shed and the purchase of some decent machinery.
This forum has been most helpful, particularly with Dust Extraction, so I will relate the progress over the last 10 years in future posts with a few pictures.

Thanks again,

Cheers, OldGrowth.

Welcome to the forum Oldgrowth...and if you find you have too much Blackwood would be more than happy to take it off your hands :)

Cheers,

Rudy

Thanks crowie, the forum has been a great help especially in the dust collection area. I have made a start with the shed build in the Sheds forum and will describe how I setup the dust system, which I am very happy with, along with some photos.
Cheers, OldGrowth
