    Hi all, just joined and thought I'd say hello. A little background history: Grew up in country Vic on a Dairy Farm. Moved to Melbourne and did an IT degree, now work in IT. I have always been interested in Woodwork and building things but have lived in a flat since moving to Melbourne and haven't had a workshop/shed/any room at all Finally bought a house with a nice big shed , so I'm now looking forward to many hours of workshop pleasure.

    My shed.

    Welcome Paul. There's certainly no better way to get rid of the day's pressures by getting out into the shed.. I love the smell of sawdust that hits me every time I open mine. Yours looks like it'll be able to hold quite a bit of gear. You'll find plenty of people here with advice on what to buy and how to use it...

    Cheers,
    Keith

    G'day paul,

    Have you ordered your TSC10HB yet?
    You will also need a cyclone and a bucket load of planes

    Welcome Pau1,

    Gee another woodworker from the bush! Another IT person!

    I'm from a farm originally also but I don't work in IT like many others on the BB.

    You've done the right thing getting a house with a shed. Now you won't be able to get up the bush on the weekends and assist with the early milking. I suggest buying some tools will help you get over that dilemna.

    We look forward to hearing more from you.

    Nice house Paul, how about posting a pic of the shed
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Hi........ I'm quite new to this site too........see you've got the hang of those 'smiles'.......personally I feel a little silly using them, but I'll eventually get over it.........probably quite important though........I mean, for example, telling someone to get stuffed with a smile on your face would be completely different to saying it with a frown, hey .........

    Anyhow, welcome paul, looking forward to seeing good things from that shed....

    Welcome on board Paul. Hope you have a good ride on here and enjoy working at it, whatever IT is......


    Enjoy your nice big shed because before long it will be a too small crammed space, like all woodworkers have.

    Hi Paul and welcome. A new house and you think you will have money to fit out the shed. Either you or SWMBO are in for a shock .
    Bob

    "If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Thanks for the welcome guys. Looks like a really good forum with heaps of helpful people on board.

    Gumby funny you said that, apparently the original owners built the shed then lived it it while they built the house, so it's got lots of windows and doors etc. Not too bad a place for me to sleep when SWMBO kicks me out The original owners built the house and lived in it till they moved into a retirement home. Lots of history....lots of bad decor, the kitchen is 7 different shades of green.

    If I ever figure IT out I'll be sure to tell someone. I should have kept to milking cows, IT can be very frustrating sometimes.

    Where do you live Bob? I might need a bed, just spoke to SWMBO about the new TSC10-HB that I will need...... Actually I inherited a few hand tools from my grandfather and my father is giving me his Old work bench from the farm(it's got a really old big Record wood vice attached) not much but it's a start. Comming from a farm with heaps of room to work and construct/destruct I'm just happy to finally have space to build again. I actually built a nice baltic pine kitchen table for my parents in the living room at the old flat. I don't think SWMBO was impressed, or the landlord for that matter!

    Thanks again for the welcome. I've already got a thousand questions for all you knowledgable gentlemen and ladies....I'm assuming there are a few lovely ladies on here as well

    Default Welcome Pau1

    In the words of Hatori Hanzo: "Welcome, Welcome!"

    And it's very cheeky to introduce yourself with such a droolicious shed. Now post a pic of some woodwork!

    And yes, there are ladies present. Ruffly? Jill?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.
