    Exclamation G'Day from Parkinson

    Hi all,

    My name is Mick and I am 58 years old and just starting woodwork.
    I have borrowed an Ezycut from my Dad to start.
    I have a few small projects to get me going building enclosures for native bees.
    I made my first one using a circular saw and spent more time with the plane fixing..
    I will hope to get a good saw, something with a cast top but my budget is limited as I am semi retired.
    I shall add more to the forum as I make more mistakes.

    Regards,

    Mick

    Hi Mick, welcome to the forum.

    Thanks for the welcome guys. My borrowed saw is very limited as I wish to rip at least 250mm however the Ezycut is about 190mm. If I could get an extension table on one side I can then make another rail for the fence.
    This project is on hold as the guy across the road is a woodworker and has all the equipment.
    One thing I did was to make two boxes which forms the native bee hive. Looking back on it now I could have made a single box and cut in half. learning...

    Regards,

    Mick
