Hmm..If Tealady has no tools then she must've chewed those *cough*20*cough* to shape

That's how they reel you in!

went out and rubbed them on the road

OK. Hardly any tools. I bought a spoon gouge (Oh god! Now they'll know what I made.) from Carbatech. Ordered it over the phone and thought " Its OK. Will come during the day. Hubby will never know." Wrong. B&($#y posty turns up on the doorsrep the next morning at 8 am. Hubby still in jimjams. "what's that?"he asks. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuum! Spoon gouge.":fetching smiley. I only told him half the price and he still went silent on me for ages.

My other tools? A stanley knife, a coping saw, a rasp. Some sandpaper. A blister.

Before... it would be a bit unfair after, would it not?

Actually, thanks for pointing out the timing issue: to avoid last minute declarations, let's say not later than 3/5, please. That should give enough time for everything, hopefully.

I thought she meant admitting who made what.

Why? Does that matter?

I would classify myself as a beginner concerning what I made, because first one that I have attempted, but as to the skills required to make what I did then I don't consider myself a beginner, a novice or journeyman perhaps.
I think I just said I'm not a beginner
So I'll be second last in the other crowd, but (dare I say it,) way in front of those whom didn't enter)

What happened to the mouse sander?

I dunno? For some reason I had it in my head that the entries were anonymous until after the 5th. I guess not, pardon me, I'll butt out

who really cares if we find out who made what ,

Frank and Spirit, here's the link. Sorry I couldn't find it earlier.

Well, DJ is not going to spill the beans, I can work them out with at least 80% accuracy but do not want to know, if the entrants spill the beans themselves, what can we do? Disqualify them? From the beginning this concern with secrecy was rather pointless IMHO, but it's all good for learning.

ETA: yes Groggy. You are right. DJ said so. Disqualification is an option, then? Funky would also need to be disqualified for his smartypants' coughing, then...

OK! OK! And the Mouse Sander. But I could have used a piece of sandpaper. Do I need to mention the old undies I whipped the oil on with?
