    Default G'Day from Queensland via baghdad

    G'Day there fellas and fellesses
    Just quick hello from a 46 year old newby to the forum. I am a self taught wood butcherer and am keen to improve. There fore brace yourselves for a heap of dumb questions. I apologise in advance !!
    I live in the sunshine coast region of Queensland and work in Iraq as a medic for a private security company.
    I am home one month in 3 so therefore miss out on all the good wood shows and cool stuff like that. Anyway thats the way it goes.
    I am into the word working stuff, but by the sound of things i am stuck in the ice age as far as knowledge and equipment go. I am doing a bit of a buy up of tools and the like to get the "Shed" into some sort of useable order.

    Talk soon

    Ah well. At least you will be able to keep tabs of things on here while you are over there.

    So what sort of stuff do you make?

    And Welcome and all that.

    G'day Skippy,
    Have a look around, and check Big Shed posts, as he documented the process to choose his saw. It may save you a heap of time.

    You are undoubtably right. Its just that i have this head thing that heavy and big last longer and will handle my less than gentle handling.
