Hi all,

Just realised I've been a member here for a while but never really posted, so here goes.

I really loved woodwork at high school and needless to say each year it was my best subject. Did a bit of woodturning on a cheap charlie lathe at dad's place over the years but nothing too serious. Haven't really done much other woodworking since moving away from home to the big smoke for uni, but now that I've got my own place I built a shed and am slowly aquiring tools of my own.

I'm currently set up with a Triton 2000 workcentre with matching saw and router, and starting on my first real project - a toy box for my little girl. Might get some pics of it as it comes along, and no doubt I'll be looking for more info on here, especially when it comes time to finishing as that is where my knowledge/experience is most lacking.

Cheers, Steve.
