Hi All,
I have been stalking these forums for a long time and thought it was time I contributed.
About me, I come from a long line of carpenters/ builder/ cabinetmaker and joiners and was made by my father to do to a trade (carpenter). at that stage had know idea of what to do so there I go... H.I.H insurance collapsed and my insurance went through the roof so I gave away my trade.

to be honest I didn't know what I had and still didn't know what I wanted,, so went to uni, I now work in technical sales. having kept my tools I have found I really enjoy working with my hand. fixing the house and making furniture, kids toys. Its a real stress relief away from my work.
Enough of that, I hope to be a positive contributor.
Cheers
Phillip
