G'day g'day

Howdy all. Long time reader, first time poster earlier tonight. Thought I better do the done thing and drop a line in here too

Fantastic forum. It's been very useful for hunting up plans and seeing opinions from those in the know on various tools. Some of your projects have been brilliant and inspiring too.

Everything I've learned has been through trial and error...and error and error and error...but I love the crafts and finding ways to make the things I need and want. Currently I've got a hankering to make some treadle powered tools so hopefully one day I'll bang together something worth posting about for you all.

Until then...

G'day RSG and welcome aboard!

Trial and error learning is OK. Just a bit tedious and at times, dangerous.

lol, no need to tell me about dangerous. I nearly hacked off my left index finger with a drop saw in August last year when a piece I was cutting jammed and snapped my hand into the blade past the guard. Fortunately there was no major damage and the surgeons were able to clean and close everything up nicely so I can still point to interesting things
