Blimey
Wotcha fellas, freezing in the middle of the Irish Sea here. Stumbled across your forum, a couple of old hands were going hammer and tongs over how you bang in a fence post, or pull it out, I couldn't stop laughing, looked further and found Wild Dingo's dit on hinges, still laughing now. Jeez if I could talk like that next time I'm in the bank...Please accept me as apprentice to this grand philosophical forum you have carved yourselves, bloody marvelous!

Hi Spit, welcome to the forum.
"The training of the eyes to know when an edge is perfectly straight or a surface is flat, free from winding, and straight, is a very important part of a lad's training."

Welcome Spit. Guys on this forum are from all over the world, and that's just the OZ ones. In character we are a bunch that ranges from quiet achievers up to self opinionated braggarts and all types in between, so you'll quickly find a niche. Got to do something stuck on Manx land for the winter.

jerryc, a grand welcome, seems the forum is a huge version of the Queens in Laxey!
Christos, thanks for that.
So hopefully with all your help I should progress from tables with three legs...

no, no: the Three-legged-table is something we lowlings ASPIRE to!! The ultimate performer that never wobbles! (4-legged furniture is SO last season)
Welcome, keep taking those Fisherman's Friends.
