    surely, an accidental cock-up can be allowed for by permitting a contestant another attempt. BTW, perhaps contestants should be expected to donate a gold coin per attempt? with an attempt defined as two practice cuts, and one "for real", with the contestant to nominate which slice is measured.

    I'm not too fussed about flukes. Anyone who can fluke a sub-1.5 mm slice with an unfamiliar saw is, in my opinion, entitled to win.

    Default World sawing championships

    I think Code4play,
    Is saying you cut one piece of the side of the block.
    Your piece is then marked with one side being the planed side other being the saw cut side.
    The block is planed true again.
    You then have another go and again we mark your cut and non cut side.
    Then these two pieces are placed saw cut sides together(book matched sort of) and the entire thickness measured at the four corners and centre point.
    With the verniers registered from the true and planned sides.
    We're an average of these measures then halved are your measures.

    Did I get that right does that make sense

    Cheers Matt

    No date yet just waiting to see if there is any real interest.
    A candidate by email forum not sure how we would go about that.
    Not saying no just not sure about how to go about it.

    I think it would be better and easier to judge if he were to actually post his entry via the traditional method.

    not when any reasonable time in transit would cost upwards of $100 CAD.

    Hi Paul

    are you suggesting that the winner needs to have consumed some minimum amount of the amber fluid or fletty's favoured claret?

    Not sure I agree with drug and alcohol testing.


    Tho all participants will need documents proving they are from earth.

    Sober persons might be considered to have an unfair advantage.

    Well we seem to be getting a little interest now.
    Derek if you were closer I would be putting my hand up straight way to GTG at your place.

    So are we getting any interest here or just some light hearted wise cracks.
    Which I'm also guilty off.

    If I see enough interest I was tentatively thinking of an early December date.

    Cheers Matt.
