    Default G'Day every one

    Hi.My name is Ron.I actually come from the country with the best Rugby team in the world. I'm a truck mechanic by trade but enjoy trying my hand at wood working.I moved to sunny Melbourne about two and a half years ago.I bought some machinery some time ago from very meager winnings sponsored kindly by Crown casino.I am presently renting property and don't really have enough space to set up table saw and thicknesser.Will have to wait until I get my own place and can put up a small shed.Bought myself a SB12 saw bench and a T-318 thicknesser made by Hafco from Hare & Forbes at last years working with wood show in Melbourne,Don't really know how good they are.So nearly a year later they are still boxed up waiting for enough space to become available.I enjoy making Furniture.Will have to see what I can do when I get my own place

    Hi Ron...and welcome!

    Didn't notice a lathe on that list....probably just as well as woodturning is very addictive and messes with one's love life and finances!!

    Cheers,
