    Cool Newbie from South Africa

    G' day (new) mates.

    Greetings from the rugby capital of the world.

    I became a single parent in my late 40' s (33 year-old schitzophrenic son). Started a small
    joinery so as to keep an eye on him 24/7. Have somehow managed to survive for to past 15
    years. Love EVERY minute of my working day...

    Only discovered the internet a year ago, so please forgive my mistakes.

    I' ll tackle just about anything...have the philosophy that if you can read you can do it.

    Regards to all

    Splinterz

    Hi Splinterz

    I will be in Cape Town in July. Are there any woodwork shops or woodworking places of interest to visit?

    Regards from Perth

    Welcome to the forum. Not sure about the rugby capital of the world statement but will give you this one incredible team to watch. The tri-nationals always great time in rugby in my humble opion.
