G'day,
I've just started a carpentry pre-apprenticeship, and our first couple of weeks have involved doing various bits of joinery to learn our way around hand tools - I've loved every minute of it! I'm old for an apprentice or pre-app (32), but the work I've done until now has been pretty unrelated.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the great information in these forums - I hope I can contribute at some point.
