    Default Just joined from Canberra

    Reached that stage in life where I'd like to get started in woodwork. I've made some benches and other bits and pieces over the years, but keen to make some plywood furniture. Bought my first trim router a few weeks back and treated myself to a table saw yesterday. Also had a bunch of plywood delivered. Now I'm collecting some quality tools before I start some projects. I'll be asking for recommendations for hardware for cross cut sleds, router tables and the like (t-track stuff), and also for some quality (but not insanely expensive!) measuring devices. Looking forward to becoming part of the community and ready to learn. Anyone else here from Canberra?

    Welcome aboard... there's a few from Canberra here.
    Northside or southside?

    What table saw did you get?

    Cheers

    Heaps of people.

    90% are IT as well. IT drains the soul. Woodwork fills the cup back up.
