Hi folks.
After a very long hiatus - much longer than I ever expected - I'm back online with a proper broadband connection and a renewed zest for things woodworking.
Part of the reason for the absence had to do with illness as well as some close family members passing away. And the fact that we built a new house. Which took a LOT longer than expected - courtesy of a dishonest and incompetent builder.
For the Aussies in here: never build a house with Masterton. They are *bad* news. I have some web pages with examples of their incompetency, if any1 is seriously interested.
But things are back to normal, the house is finished properly and like we wanted and we've moved in. And I have a pile of wooddorking to do. And very little time to do it. As well as moolah.
So very unlike me, I'll be using some powered tools to get things done quickly.
It will be back to my beloved old hand tools as soon as the urgent stuff is out of the way, rest assured.
Hope to progressively catch up with some old ciber-friends here who may remember me from a few years ago.
