G'day from Delan, near Bundy.
Yeah G'day. My name is Paul I am in the bush west of Bundy on 5 acres. I am retired and now work at my hobbies which are Woodworking, metalworking and fishing. I have a moderate workshop 6 X 9 meters with a substantial list of various machines and tools. My metalworking consists of a Metal Ace bending system on which I have created several fences, gates, candelarbra and other items for friends and family. I also have built a few very strong box trailers for myself and friends. I have a sheet metal pan brake which is terrific. I have several welding methods available, stick, oxy and mig. My woodworking is accomplished with items such as a full Triton 2000 work system with nearly all accessories. A Triton router table also with accessories. There are many other tools such as a 12" thicknesser, 14" band saw, wood lathe and the list goes on. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to impress anyone here, I'm sure that there will be many other home hobyists out there with far greater shops than mine. I just want to show that I am able to keep myself busy in my workshop for hours and so I have never felt the need to join a club or group in the past, but I have come to the conclusion that one needs to join some sort of forum to expand ones knowledge and skills. I would like to think that this place is the one for me. I welcome contact from like minded woodworkers and hobbyists especially if they are within reasonable travelling distance from here.
Hope to have a conversation soon.
Have added some pics of metal work done in the past.
some candelarbra, friend's front fence in Gin Gin installed, at the workshop, another friend's verandah gate, daughter's double gates, daughter's front fence, daughter's front PA gate.
Some woodwork pics to come later when I find them. Hope you like them.
