    Default Jack of All Trades......

    Master of None!!
    Just signed in.Looks like you folks have a great thing going here!
    Presently operating Dozers in a Central Qld coal mine & after a few years away from the hammer & chisel,I find myself back in the game again.
    Shifted from Brisbane to the Capricorn Coast & bought a little beach house.Most of the furniture I built won't fit in the house,so while in Brisbane for the son's wedding,I visited Carbatec & boosted their Balance of Payments for the month!
    The Ute's loaded with heaps of gear & I can smell the sawdust already!!
    After cruising around the forum,the old adage "You're never too old to learn" hit me.Looking forward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge & maybe contributing a little.
    Regards
    Greg
    If your in a hole...........Stop digging!!

    Very true, I'm still learning. Welcome to the forum.

    Welcome Scrubtic. Trouble is when you get to my age you find yourself learning the same thing over and over again. Truly, it seems harder to pick up some new thing than it used to be. All the people who know about ageing brains seem to be saying the same things, exercise and try to learn new skills that require a bit of concentration. I still have to do some marquetry and turning among other things.
