    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.

    Re: hi everyone, im new

    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.
    If all else fails, ask for help.

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

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