    Default Can't wait to get started.

    Hey all!

    I haven't done any woodwork since taking it as an elective in highschool, but I loved it then. Finally have some tools, a small budget, and an even smaller area for a workshop, but I figure it's about time I gave it another go.

    My GF and I just recently moved in with her mother, after the passing of her father. As such, I now have a basement which is so full of tools, fixings, and timber scraps you can't move. I also just recently picked up an old Triton Workcentre Mk3 New Series, which I spent today setting up. At this point, is just another thing I have to find a home for, but I'm hoping it's going to be quite handy in the space I have.

    First order of business is to clean up, organise and set up my workshop. I'm a full time uni student, and it all starts up again in a month, so I have a deadline. I've also got 6sqm of raised garden beds to build, fill, and plant, in the same time frame. So it's going to be a busy month. I just wish there were more days I could work in Perth right now, but the heatwave has been killer.

    I thought I might post some pictures of my progress with the workshop, maybe get some advice as I go. Is there anywhere in the forum that would be appropriate to post that?

    Looking forward to getting to know all you guys, I've already seen some incredible work lurking on here.

    Hi and welcome!

    You can post all your projects and progress shots in the Woodwork Pics forum, or the Big Stuff forum.

    Thanks guys. I'll post some pics later, as I've been attempting to resurface my Triton Workcentre worktop. It was a bit rusty
