hi all.
My name is Albert, I am 34 yo male from Auckland, I am a structural engineer by profession, woodwork is what I do after hours and on the weekend, its more of a second income than hobby.
It all started 5 years ago with my partner wanted a small furniture and we couldnt find anything on the market, I thought its easy enough to make it out of timber, so I went on buying timber and tools, by the time I finished what I've made for her, I have spent about $1000 on the tools, I figured, what about sell this on the local market and the rest is history.
over the years I have developed my workshop into an one man production ready workshop rather than making one off item, I have bought and sold a few tools for my relative short woodworking life, here is what I can remember, probably put this down for my own record just in case I need to refer to it in future.

The machine/tool I use the least, SCM widebelt sander
thats about it!
