Thread: G'day

Wow, I'm thinking that all the Aussies on the other forum started out here! Dave, I now realise why you don't make any projects these days, your time, except for shopping on Fridays, is taken up full time between the two forums. Before any one tells me that you're a yank, I must mention that your Aussie vocabulary is bigger than an Aussie like me who has only been here for 46 years.
Mal, I posted a thread on making skis in the routing section earlier today and will post others projects at discreet intervals. Is there anything specific that you would like?

Well, Hello My friend! Nice to welcome You! Can You tell us a bit about Yourself, Mate

Of course I can young Howard, when signing up I tried to find somewhere to add such info. but couldn't, so if there is such a place let me know.

I'm 77 next month, arrived in Perth in September 1964 to escape the cold wet weather in England. My first job as an improver radio/TV technician after spending best part of two years in the physics lab. at high school where I had a brilliant teacher recently demobbed from the RAF where he had been a RADAR instructor, in Jan. 1950. Apart from two wasted years as a driver in the RAF on national service, I have been in the consumer electronics industry, approximately half of this time in my own business, the last fifteen or so years specialising in VCR's. I retired in 2000 and handed the business to our son. This is when my years of woodworking really leapt up to a higher level, and is when my 25 years using routers paled into insignificance when I was tutored by a real expert.
My tin shed is 15' x 20' and is full of machines, all on wheels so that they can be manoeuvred around to suit the project in hand.
For close to four years I have been making and photographing projects, most specifically for router forums. That's about it.

Hey Harry, thought I would drop in and see how the forums go "Down Under"!

So many of my routerforums friends are here, I'm feeling at "home"already. The problem that I'm finding with this amazing forum is it's size, there are so many sections covering so many subjects that it requires one to retire from the workforce because I think that an eight hour day would be required to keep up with the daily goings-on!
Have you sorted out Skype yet Jack?

Sadly, no. I haven't even looked, LATE night last night, and LONG day today. It never ends sometimes! I am relaxing, not thinking, haha, and thinking of sleep!
