Hello from Queensland, Australia
Hello, I have been lurking around GJ for a bit, was introduced by a friend who found GJ from Jalopy journal. Anyway I am a tool geek who has a 7m x 6m (23 x19.5 feet) workshop and 6m x 6m (19.5 x 19.5 feet) storage shed. Both are iron frames with coloured iron sheeting, as is the norm over here. Both need some work, I have some ideas, hopefully GJ can inspire me to sort them out.
Very much into tinkering, fabrication and making things, I have been enthralled with the restoration projects on the forum. Hoping I can keep you guys entertained with some of my projects, I have recently (18 months or so) bought a lathe and mill and have been slowly learning as I tackle projects Paul

Re: Hello from Queensland, Australia
Welcome Paul! Spent a full summer in the mid 80s diving in Pt. Douglas, the rainforest in Paluma and around Cains, amazing country. Glad to have you here.
