Hi guy's I brand new to this forum and in fact new to woodworking, I'm now 64 and eagerly awaiting retirement at 66 (thanks to our government) I've always been very good with my hands, properly comes from my profession (sparks) but It's long been an ambition of mine that when I retire I will spend a large amount of time teaching myself woodturning and small woodworking projects. So during the last 12 months or so I've been buying machinery I now have a record lathe, Wadkin planer, record chisel mortiser, 12" saw bench, biscuit jointer, 2 routers (1 bench mounted, belt sander, orbital sander plus a number of other hand tools. I will acquire tools as required. I am now planning the construction of a workshop and intend to install dust/chip extraction. So a very exciting times for me. retirement only just over 12 months away.
