Hi everyone. I'm retired and I've been working with wood as a hobby for about 14 years now and I recently bought a new 18" BS500 bandsaw. I know that they are made in China now, but a search revealed that this brand used to be Australian and that it was a much revered name there. I'm sure the quality isn't the same nowadays, but a web search revealed that there has been some discussion about the model I bought on this forum, so I joined up in the hope of learning more about it. Otherwise I thought it might be fun to get acquainted with some of you folks down there.

Welcome aboard Mike. Nice to have you here.:2tsup:

G'day Mike and welcome to our little gathering.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

What part of Norway do you live in? I have been to Oslo, Voss, Flom and Bergin.

Welcome to the forum. What type of wood working do you do?

Hello mikeGo. Welcome to our little woody gathering. I would love to see pics of where you live and what you are up too. I'm sure these other nosy people would too.:cool::D

Welcome to the family Mikego.

Hi MG, there is a saying here, without photos it doesn't exist so a few photos of some of your projects would just confirm who you are and that you are not just a figment of our imagination:;.
18" band saw, I could do with one of those:U
