    Default Hi from Sydney

    Hi all

    Ive just started out with WW as a hobbyist - started as a necessity when I was renovating my apartment and worked out that I could restore old furniture and it looked better than the new stuff (and cheaper!); it's kind of spiralled out if control from there.

    I've got the essentials at the moment - drills, jigsaw, router table, table saw, various sanders etc - some better than others; ie jumped the gun on the table saw and bought an Einhell table saw which has a hopeless fence; think I've spent hours checking if that fence is square at every cut.

    Jointer and planer next on the wish list!

    the forum looks like it has a wealth of info and looking forward to gaining some of that and getting better at WW - in advance please excuse the dumb questions to follow

    thanks
    sam

    Welcome Sam,

    Sounds like you are on the slippery Spiral like the rest of us and well and truly hooked Its a good thing though
    By the sounds of things it sounds like your getting your shop well kitted out, makes life much easier long term.

    Anyway once again welcome.

    Cheers
    Tony

    Welcome Sam.

    They are in Woodies events, but I have put you onto the PM list. Meeting the members in person will give you a much richer forum experience.
