Houston, we have a problem

[Gumby]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Having given this much consideration and being grieved by the incident since around 10am today, I feel it is my sworn duty to announce to you all a matter of extreme importance.

Even at the risk of having some of you whipped into such a frenzy that your health could be in jepardy. Please, before you continue to read this post, take your pills and a valium if you have one. Sit down, breath very deeply and close your eyes before going any further. I don't want to be responsible for the outcome of what you are about to see having a life threatening impact upon you.

The attached picture was taken this very day at the Triton Woodworkers Club Meeting at Holmesglen TAFE. It has not been doctored in any way. It is a true representation of what transpired. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. Avert your eyes or log out now if your heart is weak.

There is nothing more I can say except make up your own minds. Is there no shame in the world anymore? Have we stooped this low? One of the (formerly) esteemed members of these forums too.










The end is nigh, perish the world.
















I can't say it but somebody has to....

He's making a bike rack !!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH !!!!

Um, And? Did I miss something or am I just really slow?
Its a few bits of metal he's cutting for a bike rack is it?

I hope the bike rack is for a motorbike not a pedal pushing type.


Gumby, not all is lost as he is using Triton tools for it.

You had to be there. It was just awful, just hideous really. :eek:

And has he shown any remorse ? Not so much as a tipplet.

It could be a rack for his Hand Carved Bicycle made from solid Jarrah frame and Hoop Pine for the wheels.
Ya just never know?!

The answer to a question no one ever asked.

[RETIRED]

Do Triton make cordless tools too?

[echnidna]

They sell dowelling jigs which don't have cords.

The cordless drill has been available for a year and has been discussed many times in the Triton forum.

I hear they use a magnet to clean up all the saw dust at the end of the day.

Technicaly, paper is a wood derived product so paper tole would be a legitamate thing for a triton project
Is triton ever going to bring out scalpels and scissors:confused:
I can see it now........a paper tole WC2000, in a frame made with triton tools of course

hey now there's an idea.......

Gumby- a remarkable insight, without realising it- I have done a number of paper tole! I did a number in '99 from my own photos- looking for a different way of presenting my photos. After doing one of stonehenge, and a super V8 and a couple of other subjects (big ben was in there), I decided to tackle the big one. Luna Park.

Now before you really fall off the chair in a fit, think about it- there is an old roller coaster, and I did every girder- took forever-miles and miles of very fine cutting. Looking at it now, I have no idea how I had the patience.

Anyway, a bit of a boring aside, but I thought I'd mention it.

The bike stand it working out perfectly btw. Guess it is a bit of a throwback to my engineering background- mechanical & materials engineering. Always had a saying- if it doesn't glow red hot when heated, or cut with a cascade of sparks....hmm guess the rest isn't appropriate for this forum.

Of course wood glows nicely when heated, and I could always ensure there are some nails in to get the sparks when cutting.......
