    Smile New to the forum

    G'day
    I have just joined the forum. My name is Lockie Story from Mockinya in Victoria. I am a fire wood cutter by occupation and a turner by choice. This situation often leads to dilemmas ie "you cant burn that.....you cant burn that..... and so on. I am married with 2 lathes, 6 chain saws and three children. I found out about the forums at this years Horsham You Turn and have hence registered. As a wood cutter I have the privilage of being able to pick the eyes out of Redgum, Buloke and Box Wood. That being said I would like to try other timbers and I am always on the lookout for unwanted trees in the area. My other hobbies are writing, and restoring old Jaguars and Autocycles.

    Well I guess that's me........

    regards

    Lockie

    Welcome to the Forums Lockie and hope you
    get all the assistance you require.

    P.S. Had to look up Mockinya as I had never
    heard of it before.

    G'Day & Welcome Lockie.
    You should be very well placed to get your timber for turning.
    You'll find a heap of knowledgable & helpful blokes & ladies on the forum, all will to assist.
    Don't forget that a picture is worth a thousand words, so show off your handiwork with photos & WIP notes.
    Enjoy the forum.
    Enjoy your woodwork.
    Cheers crowie

    Don't forget that the kids love handmade wooden toys......hint hint.....

    PS - Firewood cutting must be good if you can afford restoring old jags???
