Despite the Free Parking link cuck-up, does anyone know how parking will be managed? I hope it's not on-street parking as there will be a long walk for most...or get there real early.

Mmmm, bacon...

I bought some Ferro Pak G-15 from Chris Vesper, at a HTPAA meeting, who had brought some in from overseas. As mentioned above, is great for your lathes but do not use on the table saw or bandsaw...

Are you coming through Finley?

I'm in

I can't bear it!!!

Please take it as flattery Doug; witty and straight to the point!

Doug3030; I never knew you were so eloquent?!

Your inbox must be full Flindersia. I am interested in numerous Aust. Woodsmith magazines if they could be posted at my cost and I would be willing to take the lot if no other interest is shown.

I would have taken water.

A local weekly paper uses some of these in its header each week.

"Mary's" says a lot about our illiterate society.

Thanks, Kryn. A good laugh was had this morning with this lot.

Who calls it a tuna-fish sandwich anyway? Americans? I haven't heard an Aussie say it before. I do like my tuna sandwiches though.... damn, now I'm hungry.

Oh, the number of times I had to explain that one to high school students!

What a great idea for a guessing competition. Thank you.

Sounds great. I wanted to jump the rope at Sovereign Hill and help the smithy two years ago. Put me on the list as a possible.

Yes Ray, but was all this done wearing an apron? :)

Use an apron for that?

Also remember that Trevor was on the Collectors program on the ABC. Search for it to remember our mate.

Craig

NO! I can't believe it.

Trevor, all the meandering, scintillating, giggle-inducing conversations we were yet to have.

You were even going to be a must-do visit when we eventually get to Tassie...

It's all gone quiet. Dave has little or no phone reception in Dooen so I guess the usual suspects over there can't post or are enjoying themselves too much!

Trevor, I cannot believe that freehand...

I knew Tassie was good for growing timber but pipe and square steel?
Loving the build Trevor.

Craig

I always teach the 'rule of thumb' as one inch per year + one year, the extra year being for the free water filling the centre of the cells rather than the moisture in the cell walls. The inch...

I thought you just opened the shed and they were there?

Craig

Well, considering the timber initially cut by the convicts around and north of Newcastle was sent to Sydney as a replacement for Mahogany (as used back in ol' Blighty), and it extended up through the...

$12 per superfoot, DAR though. Of course, I don't tend to pay retail and have gotten it much cheaper on the three occasions I have bought it (in bulk.)

:oo::o:oo::o:oo::o:oo::o:oo:

Hi FF,

Where have you seen Ebony at that price? Genuine Ebony was selling for $180 a superfoot (around $75000 a cube.)

It's a shame I haven't caught up with you and Lola since Jerilderie.
...

Jim and Irene at Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies (a forum sponsor) can help you. Google cws.

I think $5000 per m3 would be a more appropriate price (retail?) but with the gnarly grain and split, I think the piece would not reach the $220 that m3 price would otherwise bring. $170 perhaps?

Noooooooo! Too far for me. I've just been offered 300mm diameter Silky but yours would open up far more possibilities in furniture making.

Hence the 'light' in inverted commas. Hence....my god, I've become my worst nightmare; booooooorrrring.

Happy birthday for yesterday Trevor. The Brough won't get done if you post tomes like the one above, although I suppose you're allowed a little 'light' reading on your b'day. :read:

:whs: Meranti

Which Oxley would that be? Wangaratta or Wauchope?

We're on the verge of rain here near the Murray this afternoon and the Rel Humdity is 42%. And that's with all the water/flooding lying around the place too!

Don't forget his influence on polo, inventing One Day (World Series) Cricket, etc.

Packer's property in the Hunter Valley was so large that it required it's own town/village to service its workers...

"The Block" contestants are doing a herringbone tabletop RIGHT NOW on telly! They must have seen your Youtube video too!

Why post this in toy making? Try reposting in a section of the Forums where those members with appropriate experience can assist you. To (medium?) jump on a 38x38x1.5 SHS that is 2m long would...

+1 for the Meranti drawer side and +1 for the Cypress board up the side. (Why would you use a slab with such a distinctive difference in heartwood/sapwood?) What a hodge-podge of timbers! Rustynail's...

Hi Smiife,

The one photo we need to do a comparison is of the footed bowl from side on (lower angle) like photo 3. I think a wider but lower foot would have suited the bowl and lifted it just...

I love the last one.

The old water into wine trick.

Chris, I'm so sorry to read that Koala has left us. I only read it just now and it's bringing tears to my eyes. Koala was such a terrific dog whenever we visited. Sophie will be upset when I tell...

So no care or responsibility for the first hour for me? Got it!

What?! And have to leave at 3am?!

If I left Friday, had a day of rest.... nah, sorry Dave.

I bought Ozito's Power Xchange lawn mower and whipper snipper. I then also bought the reciprocating saw. The mower is a monster for an electric; has heaps of power and time of use from the 2 18V...
