Hi guys..first time woodworker joining to gain and hopefully share knowledge over time. Interests ..first to plan and build workshop tables and storage. Years ago I had the Triton 2000 system. lots of messing around to get accurate cuts. Gave that to my brother in law. I'm a general DIY guy. I have and like the kreg pocket hole system. I'd like to build furniture and also cabinets and trim work around the house...paneling etc. anyway that's me.

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum, Aussie.
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork & making that new bench.
Cheers, crowie
