Retired, well actually, unemployed Pom living in Cabecudo (translates as bighead), Central Portugal. Doing up what was a ruin. I'll try and post some pics of what I've been doing. I used to be a toolmaker so my attempts at woodworking have all been self taught. They look all right from a distance!
I've already got some good info from these forums. It's amazing when you know what you're doing, thanks anyway.
When this place is done up, I'll have what I've always wanted---- a nice workshop! The other half should be happy too.
Anybody over here on hols, drop me a line, you'll be more than welcome. The beer here isn't bad either.

G'day! :2tsup: Would love to see pics of your place. I nearly went to Portugal once to do some pottery. Are you near the pottery area?:cool:

Hi Redebo, welcome, was in Portugal in 2007 for a roundtrip, had a very nice time and fun in Lisboa in a dancing hall with young Brazilians, for sure I'm coming back.

G'Day all, again,
Tea Lady--------We're a bit remote and the pottery here is a bit primitive, hope I don't upset anybody.
Ed Reiss--------You'll like the beer.
Ad de Crom----At your age!!!!!
Munruben-------When I learn how to attach photos they'll be on their way.
