    Smile G'day from Sydney

    G’day everyone.

    I recently decided to get back into woodworking after an absence of a few years and stumbled onto this fabulous site – talk about serendipity

    I like building boxes, ranging from plywood utility tool boxes through to jewellery cases made from really attractive native Australian hardwoods. My other interest is the smaller end of household items – shelves and the like. My next, and most ambitious project to date, is a shaker-style bedside table.

    Major items of equipment are a Triton WC2K with the largest Makita saw I could find, and a Triton router mounted in a Triton router table. I use a Gifkins dovetail jig – what a superb piece of equipment and Aussie to boot.

    I’m really looking forward to sharing through this site. Browsing over the last couple of days suggests everyone has loads to offer and there’s almost none of the bickering usually found in virtual forums.

    Cya … John.

    Welcome John.
    Nice to see that those of us of similar age don't just fade away, but rejuvenate ourselves of our passion.
