G'day.
What part of australia are you from?
Welcome from another new guy to this site. How did you hear about this place anyway? I found it by accident but I'm wondering if there's people in Oz recommending it.

Yeah, that's exactly the way I found this place too.
Good to see you're interested in learning outside of school.
I came for the same reasons, there's that much stuff out there you never learn it all, you even forget a lot of stuff you once knew if you specialize too much in one field.
Anyway, I wish you luck.

Welcome nathan,

I started a little earlier than you are, and I still remember all of the battles in trying to learn this trade.

Read anything you can find from equipment manufacturers or other suppliers and take everything you hear with a grain of salt.

Wish you the best and feel free to ask questions here. There is a lot of good material on this site.

Hey, I started some 20 odd years ago and I'm still trying to learn it:rolleyes:

But as previously said, get as much information you can, then remember what's works and forget what doesn't.

:cool:
