    No worries glad to help out and would do it again including giving you the pleasure of sanding them too.......I know your just itching to run that big 12" sanding disk you'll bowl that lot over in 1/2 a day maybe. If Christos likes sitting out in the sun HAND sanding maybe you should join him.

    Default Bushmiller's contribution

    Bushmiller has come to the party and supplied the blocks in the piccy below
    he also gave me some 4 x 4 to turn down for the cylinderical blocks. I've started on these and will post later.
    Thanks mate

    I'm waiting for the school to get back to me about what they actually want. I'm being passed from one teacher to another. But it is all good!

    Well done Paul


    I don't have any great worries Nick but I thought all checks would have been done with the school prior asking for these. What if the school rejects the offer You know because they are not a Brand Named toy. You may have to rush out have a stamp made up and

    Ray

    I of course checked with the school prior to putting the thread up!

    My comment above is merely to tell people I haven't forgotten their offers and that I'm waiting on the school for a couple of reasons:
    1 when can I deliver what I've got on hand (about 2 wine boxes full); and
    2 to see if they would like more than I've got on hand
