    Default Hi from NSW

    Hey everyone,
    My name is Tom and I am from NSW and have an interest in all things shed related. Wood, metal, machinery, tools for tools sake.
    I am a gumtree lurker and have been slowly buying old Australian made machinery for cheap. I am hoping to have only Australian made machinery where possible. I am also studying to be a wood/metal teacher for high school so want to expand my knowledge as much as possible.
    so far I have managed to buy a
    tablesaw (Austrec), 12'' jointer (Macson), radial arm saw 'supersaw'(H R Cousins), wood lathe (Woodfast), electric hacksaw (gray & harper),
    my most recent purchase is a bandsaw of unknown make, I shall be placing a post in the machinery forum to see if anyone here can ID it.
    I am on the hunt for a thicknesser, but the deals have been thin on the ground.
    Anyway keen to be part of this community!

    Yeah the wealth of information and people ready to help others is just awesome!
    I am overseas for a few months but when I get back there will quite a few WIP posts to do.
    Im sure with lots of questions as I have a number of projects in areas I have little experience.
    thanks for the welcome!
