Hi all,
I have just joined this forum at the beginning of my (late in life) start in woodworking. I am a mining engineer and have long been into mechanical and electrical engineering and, oddly enough, making model aircraft! The move to wood has been a natural development as I get older! I am not into lying on the ground, kneeling and crouching these days so no more car building!
So, I have built a workshop, 7m x 3m (see pic) and am busy filling it u with toys using the proceeds of selling my metalworking gear, Myford Super 7 et al. My wife cant moan about that...much.
I dont think that I will be able to develop the hand skills to come close to lifelong woodworkers (my brother in law for example who can hand saw an 8 x 4 sheet in half perfectly) so I am looking to machinery to help and I love that bit!
OK enough, I like the look of this forum and no doubt will be asking for lots of help so thanks in advance!
John
ps sorry no pic - takes a bit of working out...soon i hope
