    I moved to Gippsland in July this year after 34 years of living in the busy suburbs, best move I ever made. I moved my workshop and tools etc in a shipping container, was a bit of work but settled in now, continuing to run my woodwork business from Heyfield, shipping worldwide, orders taken through the internet.
    I make wooden boxes, wooden signs etc but also qualified as an electronics technician. My workshop is wood based but I have other interests, inventions, jigs, tools/machines gadgets and electronic junk in boxes I never finish but hang on to in case I need some day.
    I'm intersted in meeting people of general cleverness as well.
    No replies so far to your post. There must be other clevernesses out here.
    Hello Gippy people???

    Can I ask where you get your timber from for your guitar making?
    Do you know any good woodworking contacts in the Gippsland area?

    Default where in gippy is ya

    In warragul there is a woodworkers club. The contact number is (03)56267034 would probably make some good contacts there they seem like a good bunch of people. joining is cheap and entitles you to use any equipment that the club owns. often milling good and different timber which becomes available to members. I mill what ever timber I come across when I get the chance and will be milling some blackwood in the new year.

    Good to meet some more gippy ring ins.
    p.s. I am a bit of a nutty professor myself.
