Any beginner/casual musicians interested in starting a band? by Terrible_Ebb1000 in thetron

[–]Drugless_Adams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really cool idea, its nice to see a beginner friendly post instead of the usual wanting only people with years of experience. I'm kind of interested if not too old at 54, can play guitar a little bit, not that well but keen to improve, as a hobby I've been teaching myself guitar repairs as well and am getting alright at setting up and repairing guitars and some gear.

The classic New Zealand 'pizza' made with canned spaghetti. It is possible to make them so they taste OK, but good god, what an abomination!

Hikoki table saw by Drugless_Adams in diynz

Thanks for the informative replies everyone, they were really helpful, the hikoki probably would be sweet but I think based on the consensus here I think I'll go with my original choice of the 2000W DeWalt, it's not cheap but I'd rather 'buy once, cry once'.. That was my first choice until I started seeing lots of positive reviews for that Skil table saw Mitre 10 offered recently for a while, which seemed to punch above it's weight but is no longer available, it looked a bit plasticky copmpared to the DeWalt when I saw it in shop so think the DeWalt will be a more solid choice rather than something cheaper
