Never. Only as an adjunct to obtain suitably sized blanks for real work.

If you do a search for table saw sleds you will find heaps and probably betterer than mine.

Then take the big bits of wood glue them together to make a large bit of wood?

Then you turn the large bit of wood to be a big bit of wood??

Just about sums it up. Loonies all of 'em, I say.

Jim, what have you done! Bl00dy northern Qlders!

Surely will need a new Stubby to turn that beast into round?

It must have been that relaxing week and the anticipation, in Barcaldine on the way north, that encouraged you to mend your ways. Very well done.

Good to see the eyes are going well. Mum had hers done a couple of months ago and reckons it was the best thing ever.

I reckon that I have started down a road to doom and frustration if I follow your path.

I obtain a great deal of satisfaction coercing a rugged piece of natures species into an object that is loved and revered by its recipients after my administrations on the object.

That week in Barcy (Qld. speak) was not spent contemplating the marvels of segmented work but contemplating the fate of being stuck there forever and how I would have Henry shipped up there to complete my being.

I just about need it.

Lamenting you mean.

You might have to start reading again. Added lots.

I can see those northeners have turned you round and now youve gone to pieces

Ian

Maaate.

Your brain has been corrupted.

You been drawn into the dark side.

I knew that Jimmy fellow was up to no good with all them photos of slugmented stuff.

It's one thing for him to spend hours cutting up good wood and gluing it back together.

It's another thing altogether for him to start brain-washing us southerners.

! you need a weekend at SAturn in July where we can start you on a detox programme.

Remember mate, all is not lost, we are here to help you in this time of crisis.

Cheers

Tim

Counselling, counselling its the only answer, plenty of it and quick.


Nah I reckon you'll handle it. Segmenting is OK, but some days it nice to start and finish same day.

Saw the heading and thought 'ah-ha, he's finally turned a pen' but it wasn't to be Maybe this is just the next step towards making one

Oh you sad man, you sad sad man.

Next thing you will be putting threads on it.

I wonder if hughie can make threading tools that do 1.5 TPI?
