    Smile Another new member

    Hello all,

    I joined this site yesterday and it seems that the proper etiquette is an introduction so here goes.

    I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland and I suppose I've been dabbling in woodworking for 30 odd years. It has become a lot more serious with age.

    I'm lucky enough to have a very comprehensive workshop (although every time I read a catalogue I think "now I could do with one of those").

    I've just had my major yearly tool 'fix' at the Brisbane wood show and now have to find a bit more room.

    I enjoy general furniture construction (particularly Shaker furniture), turning all sorts of things - although not very well, making jigs, and I really enjoy the challenge of sharpening tools and having it work out right.

    I've already done a few posts and from what I can see, I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge through interaction with many of you over the coming years.

    Cheers,
    Keith

    You won't have time for woodwork now that you've signed on!

    Cheers,

    You have computers up there already ?? Amazing.
    When do you get internet ?
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Welcome Keith,

    From a fellow Queenslander, from Bundy home of the square bear. Know what you mean by getting a fix at the wood show. To much to buy and never enough money.

    To all things good.

    Bugger me, I always forget to do something. Proper etiquette you say...I for the life of me didn't think there was any. People quiting and re-joining, apologising, insulting, ribbing one another and generally have a good time. Well I saw plenty of that.

    Welcome Keith and hello everyone?

    Welcome to the site but I have to ask what you did for the even ones.

    With 30 years experience you'll be a valuable resource..
