    Default Just arrived

    Hi All,
    I have been given a bunch of stuff by my father (not inherited as he is still alive and kicking), who bought it as he thought he would use it. It has all sat in his back shed taking up space and never been used. Items include - Triton Mk3 workbench with Makita circular saw, router table and Makita router and a number of bits. A Makita power planer, some chisels and other assorted clamps and bits and pieces. He is still looking for his old hand plane but my guess is that it will probably need some serious restoration to get it into a working state. My history of working with wood is that I spent 3 years at high school doing woodwork and really enjoyed it but alas other things got in the way i.e. being a teenager and having fun. Now it is 22 years later and I am looking forward to relearning a lot of the skills I gained and learning a lot more new skills.

    Anyway I guess it is time to browse the forum and start learning some stuff !
