Hi from NSW

[Toomnus]

Hey everyone,
My name is Tom and I am from NSW and have an interest in all things shed related. Wood, metal, machinery, tools for tools sake.
I am a gumtree lurker and have been slowly buying old Australian made machinery for cheap. I am hoping to have only Australian made machinery where possible. I am also studying to be a wood/metal teacher for high school so want to expand my knowledge as much as possible.
so far I have managed to buy a
tablesaw (Austrec), 12'' jointer (Macson), radial arm saw 'supersaw'(H R Cousins), wood lathe (Woodfast), electric hacksaw (gray & harper),
my most recent purchase is a bandsaw of unknown make, I shall be placing a post in the machinery forum to see if anyone here can ID it.
I am on the hunt for a thicknesser, but the deals have been thin on the ground.
Anyway keen to be part of this community!

Cheers and welcome to the forum. You forgot to add your name in the post. Good top see you have an Aussie patriotic streak where tools are concerned. Hope you find what you are looking for mate.
