Introduce yourself to the community

Welcome to your Workshop. It is great to have you as a member of the community. We encourage you to say hello and introduce yourself.

 

Please reply to this post and tell us a bit about yourself. Whatever information you feel comfortable sharing is fine.

 

You might like to tell us about your current D.I.Y. and garden projects, your work, your passions, your hobbies, your dreams, what you struggle with, what you hope to learn from this community, and/or your favourite ice cream flavour.

 

And for something truly revealing about yourself - tell us what you call a barbecued sausage served on a single piece of bread.

 

We look forward to your post and getting to know you. Thanks for joining the discussion.

Re: Introduce yourself to the community

In response to @Jason's question: I call it a sanga sandwich  

A sanga in Aussie slang can mean either a sausage or a sandwich. So Sanga it is.

 

Woahhhhhh hold the bus.

If a sausage is a sanga then refering to the above descriptions we have either a sausage sausage or a sandwich sandwich.

How about snaggers on a raft???????

Having an Impact

Re: Introduce yourself to the community

Hi everyone, I'm Bruce (aka Bruce Oldfart).
I work at the really big green and red hardware company as a weekend DIY presenter. Mostly this involves showing DIY newbies how not to cut their fingers off.
Re the breads/sausage question, I think it can be accurately called a "Mystery Bag".

Dear @handymum, welcome to our growing Whorkshop family, I would've welcomed you sooner, but I collapsed when I saw all that you've done & the skills that you've learnt. :bigsmile:

 

I'm constantly amazed by how DIY savvy our Workshop ladies are, & I look forward to learning from you too.

G'day @popawisky Pete, welcome to the happy & growing Workshop family. :bigsmile:

 

I too remember the Triton being shown on the Inventors, I thought it was brilliant, so eventually bought one. I think it's a MarkIII, but it's folded up out of the way, & all the brackets/bolts & widgets are mixed in with other tool accessories, so it'll be nightmare to get it going again. It's a shame really, I only used it for 1 smallish job. :embarassed:

G'day @Oldfart Bruce, welcome to the older but happy group of the Workshop family. :bigsmile:

 

Kudos for putting the time in to save DIYers, from cutting their fingers off, I could do with someone like you looking over my shoulder. My mind tends to wander, & I've had a few near misses that still send shivers up my spine when I think of them.  :shocked: :embarassed:
