Hi All, great forum you got here!
I am a fairly recent arrival from Pommie-land, we emigrated to Rockingham last year.
I have been in and out of working with wood since leaving school in late 70's- as a coachbuilder, joiner, carpenter and cabinetmaker.
Although until recently I had been out of the industry for approx 12 years (except for DIY!). My wife and I have fairly recently bought an existing business in Perth WA that makes headboards and upholstered beds. We have an upholsterer and I do the cabinetmaking/joinery. It all being fairly simple (at the moment, I have plans to expand and upgrade our product range:wink:).

There are quite a few gaps in my knowledge which I may be asking advice on, if I may. :- Also I am in need of help on good suppliers for tools/equipment and also general supplies- getting bulk and cheap fasteners/screws being my biggest bugbear at the moment!:(

Cheers
Gaz

You can Google it ie (bulk timber fasteners wa au) example
then the yellow pages are also good
Importing from China a bit time consuming to start Google that as well

Hey, thanks for the welcome!
I have now found a reliable bulk fastener supplier :)
Really enjoying reading around the threads, relative lack of b/sh*t too:2tsup:
