Hi there from Tom
Hi there! My name is Tom and since semi-retiring in May 2017 I have taken an interest in woodworking and scanning the Web for inspiration. I have an old Triton Mk.3 that is finally getting a workout instead of collecting dust. Took e 8 years to get it out the box and assemble it after receiving it as a present from my wife. Yep, only came out of the box because ants made a nest in it.
Projects so far have been a router table mounted on a mitre saw stand, a saw till and a power tool charging station. (Pictures in my album)
I hope to advance my skis and get more done in the future (once the sliced finger heals
)
Cheers for now!

Welcome aboard Tom.
I have an anual GTG (get together) on Australia Day weekend. If you feel like a drive towards Adelaide (about 300 km out of Melbourne on the Adelaide road) you would be made to feel welcome.
Usually they go for 3 to 4 days. Welcome for as short ir as long as you like.
This was my last one https://www.woodworkforums.com/f303/w...weekend-218153

Thanks for the invite Dave. I am fully committed for that weekend; family business. I might need to be committed after the weekend though
Looks like all enjoyed the last one! Cheers mate.
