    Default Hi from Sydney

    Hi all

    Ive just started out with WW as a hobbyist - started as a necessity when I was renovating my apartment and worked out that I could restore old furniture and it looked better than the new stuff (and cheaper!); it's kind of spiralled out if control from there.

    I've got the essentials at the moment - drills, jigsaw, router table, table saw, various sanders etc - some better than others; ie jumped the gun on the table saw and bought an Einhell table saw which has a hopeless fence; think I've spent hours checking if that fence is square at every cut.

    Jointer and planer next on the wish list!

    the forum looks like it has a wealth of info and looking forward to gaining some of that and getting better at WW - in advance please excuse the dumb questions to follow

    thanks
    sam

    Welcome Sam.

    They are in Woodies events, but I have put you onto the PM list. Meeting the members in person will give you a much richer forum experience.
