    Default Hello from Washington state, USA

    Hello.
    My name's Rodney, I'm 47 yrs old and have been dabbling in woodworking for somewhere around the last 20 years. In the last few years I've developed an interest in old woodworking machines. It started as a way to acquire machines I couldn't otherwise afford but has also become a hobby in it's own right. Restoring older equipment has also made it possible for me to own better equipment than I could possibly buy new. My interest in old machines has spilled over into vintage hand tools as well, perhaps an even more dangerous hobby to be involved in.

    Lately I've been doing more turning than flat work and have been having a lot of fun with it.

    I realized that my state abbreviation, WA for Washington is the same as yours for Western Australia. It shouldn't come up much but I'll try to avoid any confusion resulting from it. I look forward to learning from all of you.
    Rodney

    G'Day, Welcome "to the Great South Land" & to a top forum "Rodney".
    We have a few blokes from USA on the forum but you're the first I've welcomed from Washington State [part of the cold north]...
    You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
    Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes.
    Enjoy the forum.
    Enjoy your woodwork.
    Cheers from On Top DownUnder, crowie

    "WA" - West Aust is a long way from Washington State and the climate & landscape equally are very different......

    You could be right on the dangerous hobby of collecting hand tools. So far I am not affected , as I only have a few older hand tools.

    O by the way welcome to the site.
