A hello and a thanyou.

[Creampuff]

Firstly allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Andy, and thanks to yourselfs I have just finished my first little workshop (9.6x30ft) along with a nice block paved path that I must admit i'm pretty proud of :wink:
And have since purchased my first couple of tools. A cheapo Ryobi thicknesser for cleaning up wood that I get from work (pallets and packing crates)

A cheapo Titan table saw, that... does the job its inteded for, and last but certainly not least, a Triton MOF (thanks to your kind recommendations) and a Dakota router table from Rutland. (god damn i love that site!! :shock: )

Hopefully at some point in the future, I will see about getting a decent camera, so as to be able to let you all see my wood butchering.

But for the time being I would like to thank all of you for the VAST
amount of knowledge and humour that you all bring to this fantastic forum, and I hope at some point in the future I'll be able to give some advice and help of my own...

After plenty of practice first though :wink:

Thanks again

Andy

Welcome aboard Andy, as you already know this place is great

joining in to help increase each other's knowledge. :wink:

Hello and welcome, I've been here about a year now and they're a good bunch except for their bad influence on my plane purchasing

It's a thursday night, so why not! I've just cracked open a can of my asda price lager! :roll:

I'm looking longingly at a bottle but my daughter's in labour and I'm waiting.
Could be a long night!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I do actually have a few pictures of the workshop on my phone...

Now if i only new how to work my phone we'd be in business
a swift visit to see my dear nephew this weekend should solve that little problem

But I must invest in a real camara at some point, not that you'd really want to see the things i Eerr try to make out of wood

Anyway I digress

Thanks for the welcome ccasion5:

Hi John, I'm from a village called St. Lawrence bay, close to the little town of Maldon.

Creampuff - welcome mate.

I have the 'cheapo' ryobi thicknesser, and have been using it for a year and a bit now, and think it's great. I get a pretty good finish on it. It took a bit of fine tuning to get it working how I wanted, but now it is as good as the DeWalt we use on site work.

The Triton is great too. And Rutlands? Well, that is one site that could easily ruin a happy marriage/ business/ family/ lottery win.

Cheers mate.

Neil

Indeed it is Steve, I didnt expect many people to no where St. Lawrence is. In the olden days I'm sure there must have been a sign at the end of the road saying.... Beyond this point, there be Dragons... :lol:
