Hi guys I'm from Sydney Australia and i luv the forum Ive learnt alot from reading the many posts you guys have written and i just thought i would poke my head in and say hi.
As I'm a carpenter i have had a lot of tools from all brands and have now started selling those brands and replacing them with Festool and as you guys know they are far superior tools and make my life a lot simpler (but need to extend the mortgage to finance the addiction)

Welcome Locky and hi, from further south.

Like you I have learnt plenty, particularly in the last month since I too pocked my head up and registered.

Looking forward to your next post.

Stephen

Hi Locky and welcome to the Fog.

I used to live in Sydney and it is a great city to live and work.

Speaking of work, is there much building work there now?
I have noticed a huge decline in work, here on the Gold Coast.

Hopefully things will pick up again, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Justin.
