    Default from East Maitland.

    Hi all

    I'm from East Maitland, NSW. I'm getting into woodworking after the old man donated his barely used Triton gear after downsizing his house. He originally bought it soon after he was medically retired from work so he would have an interest. He used it maybe twice in the twelve years he owned it.

    I've done a few smaller projects in the past, but just DIY type stuff, so I'm keen to get into more advanced woodworking down the track. Here is my first little project in probably 10 years, most of the build time went into thinking through how I wanted it to work and working out how to do it.

    Anyway, I'm the type that rather than ask “how do I do this”, I will say “this is what I plan to do, will it work, is there a better way”. I look forward to picking your brains.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Don't forget to thank your dad for giving you his gear. I also started with Triton gear and still have them in use and when I need to do something I tend to push these items full on for the day.

    Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the invite Dave.

    Unfortunately have something arranged with the SWMBO's side of the family, so I will take a raincheck.
