Hello Fellow Gallots,
                              Let me introduce myself, my name is Andrew J 
Hargreaves, I'm 38 yrs young, live in rural Australia ( The greatest country 
by far ) Married, my beautiful wife Treavell and my Step Daughter Olivia and 
My first unborn ( Due 20th Dec )  live and operate a Dairy Farm. I have had 
a passion for wood and real things made of real wood for a lot of years. The 
more I admired these objects the more I was drawn to one day attempting to 
make this fine furniture myself, a few things I have tried but could not get 
the results I was looking for. This after paying out my hard earned on 
electro burners, the construction could be improved but the finish was !@#$. 
So I started to read about hand tools and see the results and then searched 
the web to buy these tools and now I have some, stumbled across Bug Bears 
Pages, Blood & Gore & found you guys chatting on the porch. Been walking 
past lurking, watching, listening and thought it was about time I said 
hello. Not much into the collection side of things but have decided to 
assemble a user set of Record planes so far have, 405 Multi Plane complete 
in box, 050 complete no box, 043 complete and box, 311 complete no box, 271 
Router complete no box, 4 1/2, 010 Need a blade, Stanley 4 & 110 also a few 
nice chisels look forward to getting some more. Ambition to get assemble a 
set of L-N beautiful tools.Have collected an amount of timber over the years 
out of 100yr old farm buildings and when I buy the one power tool worth 
having a Band saw I will start to make some furniture out of it.Pick up a 
Dawn Hand Driven Wall Mounted Drill this weekend. When I find my camera I 
will set up a web site and show you all my pics. Look forward to putting my 
newly acquainted tools to work, listening to you guys and one day having 
something to contribute.

Kind Regards

Andrew J Hargreaves
