G'day all

G'day, this looks like a great website. My name is Marcus and I'm 22 from Melbourne. I'm an electrical apprentice but really love doing wood work as a hobby. I'm moving into a new house next year and will no doubt be carrying out many projects of my own. I'm a newbie and am only just starting to learn and aquire new tools. I have a vast collection of power tools comprising of a 14V cordless drill, battery and charger. Can't wait to aquire such tools like a circular saw, compound saw and a hammer drill. My initial goals are to build a nice deck and pergola in the back yard. Will no doubt be sourcing information from the experts on this website for help. Cheers...Marcus

Welcome Marcus. sounds like you have a full schedule ahead of you. Good luck with it.

G'day Marcus. You've come to the right place to get all sorts of good information. If you buy tools as a job requires them you spread the cost and, more importantly, you don't buy gear just for the sake of ownership - eg what do you intend using a hammer drill for, as a priority?
More expensive tools usually do a better job, so saving what you can is the way to go IMHO.
