Just joined up to try to learn something (Anything!) about wood.
You might think that at my age I should know a little about wood but I'm just a poor, not to bright, bankrupt immigrant.
I spent 27 years in the UK and 44 years in Canada and, this year, I am to be your friendly neighbour when I start my third adventure-in-life.
I am fascinated with the Australian trees and hope to learn more about them by butchering some tree products with my 120 Volt tools.
As an electrician, I don't think that I will ever become Australia's finest carpenter but I did once own a wooden handled screwdriver.
I sincerely hope that some of you will share some of your hard earned knowledge with me and that I can be a credit to this forum.
Thanks for your time,
Bill

With 120 Volt tools, you will most likely butcher your tools without harming the trees. :rolleyes: But welcome! :)

Ask away mate and what we can help with we will ( and I say this with confidence ) for as long as I have been assosiated with this forum honest questions have been answered promptly and accurately , though fair warning this has a lot of Aussie members ( and HB ) and sometimes the replys carry a slant that is typical to the Aussie sence of humor :D

...........and that's another reason why I joined up. I can take the Aussie humour, I have been enjoying it since my first visit in 1958.
