Hi everyone.

My name is Pete but mostly people call me Middo.

I've got a Wife and a dog. We dont have kids, my wife says Im enough of a child to look after.

I am very high functioning, but I am on the Autism Spectrum, so please approach me if something I say seems short or offensive so I can explain my thinking. Apart from that, my Autism only means I measure 6 times, then cut once.

So very much, I am a newbie to woodworking and looking forward to it. I have a few tools but Im adding to my collection and im looking forward to discussing ideas on projects and what tools to get.

Hi Middo, welcome to the forum.
We used to have a guy on here who was high functioning autism and he could produce the most superb outcome on what he was doing. Have a look here (https://www.woodworkforums.com/f174/2-3-scale-brough-superior-201136) for one example.
I look forward to your journey.

. . . . only means I measure 6 times, then cut once.

Well at least that's better than the other way around :)

That right there is my issue ;)

Gday Middo.

I, like you, am a raw novice. There is a heap of info on here, great community. I finally have a shed and workspace sorted out since starting on here so HOPEFULLY will post my efforts over the coming days....when you see how dodgy my work is mate, it will give you HEAPS of confidence ;)
