    Hi,

    My name is Brian and I live north side of Brisbane. I have been involved with timber for 30 + years as a chippie and registered builder. Having now retired from the hustle an bustle of the building industry I am looking at a or relaxed time.

    Wanting to still work with timber I have ventured into the world of scrolling, not sure if this is relaxing or more frustrating, time will tell.

    My first step was to purchase a scroll saw. I am now the owner of a General 21 which works very well it only needs the owner to be the master and not be mastered .

    Anyway looking forward to learning and making a few things. Now to find timber I can work with.

    Thanks
    Brian

    G'day Brian
    I am a retired Carpenter. The trade has always been my hobby as well.(Not sure if that is a good thing or not). This Forum has been a great resource for information on all sorts of subjects. I have been able to give some advice to others as well. Don't be shy about wanting some hints/pointers, there will be someone who can help you out.
    In May the Working With Would Show is on in Brissy. I liken the shows to be like a kid in a sweet shop. There is a lot to see and who knows you might just have to have new machinery for your retirement.
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Hi,

    Thanks everyone for the welcome. Looking forward to the wood show in a coupe of weeks, not sure if wife or my wallet will be as pleased. I agree with an earlier comment be like a kid (big) in a sweet shop.

    Having a look around the site if I have a question there is plenty of knowledge to be accessed.

    Anyway I will drop in to the forum site when at the show.

    Brian
