FIVE books to give away (with a catch!)
Here it is my scurvy ridden friends, I have a few books inherited as various value adds by local sellers.
I savour the second hand market and part of that is they are always extra keen to give away their treasures as part of the bargain.
So, here I have FIVE books that are either doubled up or "not in flavour" to my library.
Ok, now the sales job is done, here is the hook. I'm saving for a bandsaw. Every sale goes closer to the ideal of replacing my 10" restored older-343-style machine. It's not bad, per se, but it's no what I need in moving towards a full time hobby!
Make a reasonable and non-trivial offer and each/either/some/all and expect postage to cover and they are yours.
Send me a PM, make an offer and if it's non-trivial it's yours.
Payment via PayPal (preferred) or direct deposit.
NOTES----->
- don't rip me and there will be respect
- don't buy them/each unless you really want them. Let someone who really wants them for love/learning/memories take them if you doubt
- I'm doing this for our sport, not profit, try to understand your payment is directly going to one of our advertisers
- Perhaps say "I'll take xyz for $n" as a response in the forum
- obviously I'll charge you only what I pay for postage

Evan, I'll put my hand up for the Peter Child book, depending on the inspirational "catch".
Possible catches: Pay for Postage
Trade a suitable size turning blank
Request a board of PurpleHeart or Australian Red Cedar . . . Mine won't fit Aus Posts limits so not an option for me.
Cut some 75mm sanding disks - I've got to cut another batch of 120/180 tomorrow anyway.Pat
