    Default Another climbing aboard the Welcome Wagon

    G'day all,
    My name is Ben, I'm a young Sydney local just getting into things. Well that's not strictly true, I am a carpenter by trade, but I have been only just recently getting into the finer side of all things wood.
    I'm mostly interested in box and furniture making, I have a few projects in mind, and I'll lend a hand in the reno section since it's my day job and there is no shortage of questions to confound the DIYer.
    I will confess to being a dark-sider and preferring hand tools, a hand plane is much more satisfying than the electric version, to which end I am hoping to establish a collection beyond an inherited No.5 and my Bailey Block Plane. Still it's not a bad start.
    I am also learning to enjoy a good chisel. I have a set of Bahcos as general bench chisels and have just started a collection of Titan firmers (1 25mm and 2 19mm with original handles- gotta love antique stores), of course various projects will require other toys, erm, chisels.

    Right, that's enough about me, time to get stuck into it
