Welcome Strings!
You'll find a great resource of information here as well as advice, opinion, inspiration and no doubt a little envy of some of the beautiful instruments being created around the country (and across the ditch).
Have fun with this new hobby (read addiction).

Thanks All for the welcome... a little bit of background on me

cabinet maker for around 15 years and spent most of that time either machining timber or spraying it along with the usual installation of kitchens and stuff
also 8 years as a shoe repairer in a lovely little suburb in melbourne called pakenham
currently working again as a machinist where i is able to get my grubby hands on assorted timber and on finding you guys here....and buying a certain book (or two) has encouraged me to at least steer myself in the direction of breathing in dust at home as well as work...
again many thanks for the welcome
