Hi from Sydney

[SydneySam]

Hi all

Ive just started out with WW as a hobbyist - started as a necessity when I was renovating my apartment and worked out that I could restore old furniture and it looked better than the new stuff (and cheaper!); it's kind of spiralled out if control from there.

I've got the essentials at the moment - drills, jigsaw, router table, table saw, various sanders etc - some better than others; ie jumped the gun on the table saw and bought an Einhell table saw which has a hopeless fence; think I've spent hours checking if that fence is square at every cut.

Jointer and planer next on the wish list!

the forum looks like it has a wealth of info and looking forward to gaining some of that and getting better at WW - in advance please excuse the dumb questions to follow

thanks
sam

Welcome Sam,

Sounds like you are on the slippery Spiral like the rest of us and well and truly hooked :2tsup: Its a good thing though :)
By the sounds of things it sounds like your getting your shop well kitted out, makes life much easier long term.

Anyway once again welcome.

Cheers
Tony
