    Default Hello all!

    My name is Chris. I was involved in framing houses as a profession in my younger days. These days I am a hobbyist woodworker gradually piecing together a small shop. I immigrated with my family to Aus 12 years ago from the US. I’ve been doing some reading, this an excellent forum with lot’s of helpful info. Thank you for letting me be part to it.

    Thank you for the kind welcome, I'm building an interim workbench to use as I piece together my shop. I'll post some pics. I'm wondering if there are any local clubs, meet-ups etc. I'll have to do a search.
