Thanks for the warm welcome there gents
I'll add a bit more about myself and of course some photos of my recent acquisitions, as I all know we enjoy admiring or ridiculing (hopefully not
) other folks gear.
I sell wine by day (if anyone never needs wine advice, I'm very happy to help advise and recommend) and have always had a tendency towards engineering/design. I'm one of those Millenials that was sold the dream of University and the well paid job at the end of it.. I studied Product Design and it was one of those courses where you do all the theory and design, yet then don't get to do the fun bit on the machinery... Had to hand my designs over to a lab technician to manufacture for me..
I'm always working away in the background and wee hours and have build myself a workshop in the last few years - I wish I'd know about places like this before I built it. I'll do a write up on my workshop build mainly for MikeG's amusement
I can't say that I really posted much on the "other place" as I was more in lurking mode, hoovering up the vast amounts of superb knowledge that was available.
My reason for joining a forum was (sorry to bring it back round to table saws
) due to the sheer frustrations of trying to make a Clarke 10" table saw cut 90 repeatedly... Poking around a bit and seeing people like SammyQ with his Wadkin AGS10 project inspired me to try something I'd never considered doing before.
