Newguy here!
Just wanted to say "hello" and introduce myself. I am a retired Industrial Arts teacher and enjoy many aspects of woodworking. I don't know if this subject matter is taught in Australia schools or not, but I am from a small rural farming community about 40 East of Kansas City, MO right along the Missouri River. I taught woodworking, drafting, metalworking, electricity in grades 7 thru 12 for 33 years and now get to work in my shop on my projects! My handle comes from my time as an RTO in the army an I almost had a chance to visit your country. So in order to get with the program-- G-day, Mates!

Got an album started!
Ok guys, you asked for some pictures, but I had to learn how to post them first. Anyway, got an album started with a few pictures that I could find. The crib, baby changing table and rocker were for my first grandson. The rocker about did me in because we were told around Thanksgiving and my wife wanted it done in time for Christmas-- cut that one close, rubbed out the finish on Christmas eve night!
Enjoy, will try to find some others.
Don

Thanks for the welcome! created an album also.
OK guys, have tried to find a few pictures of what I have been doing over the years. Had a computer crash last year but I found a few pictures of some things. Really appreciated how easy it was to upload pictures into an album--- hope you enjoy them.
