kkwall 11th December 2007, 04:46 AM Hi All,
Just joined the site, and wanted to introduce myself.
I am at present in Scotland, but am making a move to Melbourne in the New Year.
I am a woodworker, who makes mainly pens, and other small itmes, but have also started making small cabinets and chests.
From what I have seen, the site looks great, and looks to be a very good starting point to identify likeminded people, and also sources of supply for wood etc.
Hope to be a regular visitor over the next few months and beyond.
Best Rergards,
Kenny.:2tsup:

All the sane people on this board are asleep at the moment, but they'll be along later. There is a lot of knowledge on here and I hope you will share some of yours as well.

jerryc 11th December 2007, 07:50 AM Welcome Kenny, both to the forum and soon to Oz. I've been here from UK since 1962 and never regretted a minute of it. The forum is great. The country is great, Melbourne is great. Where else can you get four seasons in one day? Only problem is there are Aussies here, but you have to put up with some drawbacks.

Thanks Again,
