G'day all
What a bloody great site!!!!
Just a bit of a backgroung on me'self - did a carpentry aprenticeship back in the '70s & worked in the trade for about 16 years - changed jobs & packed (most) of the tools away

Lately though, the wood bugs have been bitting - while travelling over x-mas, up around Euroa in Vic, saw a Lewis Mill in operation & fell in love with an old slab of river gum

Long story short, now have the 500+kg behemoth back home (milled into smaller slabs) & am ready to get back into it

Now to just knock the rust off the tools, lock the shed & the fun begins........

Will keep you posted on how the new outdoor furniture goes

Cheers
BigD
