G'day from rural Tasmania
It's amazing what you find in the internet when you're on the scrounge for new gear.
Terrific forum, broad interest groups and tonnes of info.
Bit about me...
Live in Northern Tas - between Devonport and Launceston on a rural property.
Fly fishing addict, rod building, furniture and cabinet making hobby and have a deep fascination for Tasmanian timbers.
Live amongst blackwood, sassafras, Tas oak / Vic ash, myrtle and leatherwood trees. No better place to be than near the resource.
Converted my garage to a workshop a few years ago, enjoy the peace and solitude out there turning up reel seat inserts for my fly rods and making small to medium projects for the home and as gifts.
Have a partcular knack for micro wood turning and finishing, mostly fishing related (tiger myrtle handles for fly reels, etc...)
Cheers from "not so tropical" Tassie.
Corey.

Welcome Corey, nice part of the world where you live. Spent 6 months around Devenport many years ago.
Reality is no background music.

Thanks for the welcome gents.
Rattrap, yup - not far at all. Spend a bit of time out your ways on the rivers, also out collecting odds and sodds from the sawmills around you.
I'm on the hunt for a new bandsaw, will post up a question or 7 in the respective sections to get some feedback.
Looks to be a sensational site, didn't even expect to find a forum after running a GOOGLE search for machinery reviews.

I think you're gonna love it here Caveman, great bunch of people with loads of talent who are more than happy to share their knowledge.
The Meander river is 1 of my favourite haunts when i get urge to fish, as is the lakes on the central plato.
As for bandsaws, theres an entire section set aside to them here. I've had my eye on the carba-tec 17" bandsaw for a while now, just a matter of balancing my funds.
