Hello from a newbie.

[Shaggy]

Hi Guys.
My name is Glen, but most call me Shaggy (and other names I can't repeat on a family forum).
I'm just getting into wood work as a little hobby so lots to learn and gear to collect.
My first project was last year when I made my Shed/workshop, never made anything before but quite pleased how it turned out. It's roughly 4mx2m, so quite big for a shed but not very big for a workshop. So far have a few basic power tools and a few other bits and pieces to ruin bits of wood with and just before Christmas I got myself a cheap Scroll Saw from Aldi to play with.

Anyway, been reading a few posts for a couple of weeks now and decided to join so I can ask for advise and join in where I can ( just be ready for some stupid questions when I get stuck ).

Cheers, Glen.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I did think about getting the table saw from Aldi, but thought it was too big. So now I'm thinking of getting a track saw instead, maybe the Titan one in Screwfix .

Hi Glen. I just joined about an hour ago so am just plodding along trying to work out how it all works and thought your post looked a good place to have a practice....sorry....still good to say hello though.
