    new member introduction

    Greetings Folks, I have just been browsing SMC and would like to introduce myself. I am a professional cabinet maker, but you can get a grip of my background by referring to my web site www.collectablefurniture.co.nz.
    Of late I have also taken up the manufacture of hand planes-double dovetailed steel, brass, bronze and good wood.I can post pictures if wanted and when I have figured out how to do that on this forum....
    I look forward to learning new tricks,sharing knowledge/ answering questions, general chat/humour and taking the mickey whenever possible(well there could be a serious message within)-not necessarily in that order.
    Philip Marcou

    G'day Philip.

    Welcome to the BB frow Western Oz. As you can see by my avatar, a recent photograph of me on a bad hair day, I am true blue Oz.

    How come you are still in NZ? I thought all of you NZers were over here!!!

    There are some very clever and knowledgeable people on this BB. Unfortunately, I am not one of them, but I have fun in my shop and make great sawdust.

    Welcome Phil,

    Always good to get international woodworkers on the site. Hurry up and get the picture thing worked out, cause we like pictures.

    Welcome to the Creek Phil. I guess the median location for Creekers just moved a bit south. From the looks of your site, you'll add a good deal of experience to the mix here. Great-looking work.

    Welcome aboard Philip. Great bunch of people here at the "Creek".

    Do a search here for the info on posting pics. Of course don't be afraid to ask.

    We like pics. We like neander tools. Did I mention we like pics of tools and projects and............?

    Phillip, welcome to the creek. Now I know I'm not the newist kid on the block, I just joined myself. Though I will freely admit to now having the experience you do. But with time comes experience.

    Welcome to the creek Phillip. Has anyone warned you about the picture police in the pink thong? If not you'll learn about that soon enough.
