Well, I (ex-NSW red cedar fan)went to the hardware store here in Port Moresby to buy some ordinary old structural, thin timber for some brackets I was about to make and, lo and behold, there was a...

Could I trouble you for a bit of info about the Leigh Johnno? My brother (in Boston) has an Incra Ultra Linear that he swears by but it's a very expensive bit of gear, even if I buy it in the US....

If God has meant us to make violins out of carbon fibre He would have made carbon fibre trees.

Whoops, I mean !

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. My sympathies to you Neil. Rick

Well done Johnno; a blatant but worthy attempt to keep the woodcarving BB alive and gasping! Laminated blanks have been used lots and lots and lots for carving. It's used for bulk, for strength and...

Not that blasted woodrat again!

I wish someone would welcome me with alms!

Sorry to hear about the knee Neil but the good news is, now that you're not going to make the Brisbane show, you'll have time to `hop' up to Port Moresby and put on a show here instead. Look forward...

They're certainly suitable for turning, especially the paperbark. If you turn the liquidamber while it's still green, wear a raincoat. If the bits you've been given are already cut into short,...

You mean the Bah might censor it, don't you?

When you have a dig-in you get to star on one of those `Funniest Home Videos' shows, along with all the toddlers breaking their noses on tricycles etc.

Try this great new hollowing method but make sure you've got plenty of bandaids handy!

Hey look, I'm a full member again! Thank you Neil, my self esteem is now restored, and there are now three sort of current messages on the Woodcarving BB! Is this a record?

Shane, you can use Outlook if your ISP has a dedicated server for newsgroups, called an NNTP server, or something like that. Otherwise, I think you have to access newsgroups through a website such as...

You're excused doorstop, in fact, I'm happy to excuse all your osities. There are thousands of newsgroups, covering just about anything e.g., the `I hate Enya' newsgroup, or `Coca Cola collectors'...

Thanks Dave, that's great!

Can anyone help me with this? I used to participate in the rec.crafts.woodturning newsgroup using a system I can't remember the name of, that was bought out by some company, so i switched to...

Neil, Why doesn't anyone ever post to the Woodcarving Board? I feel the poor little thing is neglected. If I knew anything about woodcarving, I would write to it. I think we need a little campaign to...

I once caught a `bus' (Mazda bongo van) from Lake Toba to Sibolga in Sumatra which was jam-packed with local families. Throughout the 8 hour trip the kids ate durian and proceeded to vomit it up, so...

And then there's the conventional way ...
Using a scroll chuck or a cup chuck, turn the lid first. You turn the inside of the lid and the rim of the lid, and start its outside, then part it off....

Terrific!

It just depends on what you're doing. I have the standard jaws, the pin jaws and the large ones (can't remember what they're called; shark jaws?). The large jaws are great, especially with the longer...

Thanks Jeff, Any idea how I can get in touch with the International Wood Collectors Society?

Does anyone know of a good source for information on Papua New Guinea timber? I'm living in Port Moresby for a couple of years and am very keen to try out some of the timber here for woodturning and...
