Thread: G'day, Google kept sending me here!!

Often Google wants me to read a thread on here when I'm searching so I thought I should join up. There are going to be people laugh at me for joining a woodwork forum after all the jokes I make about them!
I served my time as a Fitter and Turner and did some Toolmaking and now run the family farm. I have lots of metal machines in my farm workshop and a few woodworking ones in a shed here with several of a friends woodworking machines. I do like working with the stuff (Timber, not wood apparently), even if I can't weld it and it is hard to bend, just as well it grows on trees!!
I collect a bit of stuff like Fordson tractors, trucks and farm machinery. I have recently started collecting old metal and wood working machines, so I didn't have to sell the ones I've been using, and a few found me. I like running a flat belt!!
I am looking forward to making some things from the fallen redgum log we had milled from our place a few years back. My Kids are also getting to the age where they want to build things as well so I want to get them started out having a go and coping with making some mistakes on the way!!
Is it ok to share stuff ups, or learning experiences here?
