Thread: Timber offer + challenge 2

i would offer my services agin as a prise sponcer but it cost me $45 postage last time.

if there were some way of getting around this it would be great.

it will also be hard for me to offer a certain thing as we all have diferent persuits.

Fair enough, Carl, posting wet timber is very expensive and you have been very generous already. (Thanks again .) On the other hand, postage and handling for a GPW chuck set (which works very well, BTW) and a pink grinding weel is only $24. Maybe GPW could get a better return for the investment...

Maybe we could ask one of the WW'ing suppliers for sponsorship?

Ok then... I may as well give this a go. It will probably be a turned item so 40x40x(whatever fits the final restrictions) will be good, but if inspiration strikes then it may become... art.

Onya Skipper!

just thaught id clarify the prise wont nessaseraly be 10kg of timber.

cos if you chose the red cedar it is bone bry and as light as a fether youd get half the tree.

but well work that out when the time comes

Your a top fella for offering the prizes Carl. And onya F&E for organizing the comp. I'd enter. . . . except . . . . well I always got excuses and you guys do not want to hear them. I await the results with interest.

Cheers

Gidday if there is room can I play too.
Toni

BobL we dont want to hear your excuses Dont be a chicken! Have a goDont just await the results, be part of them!

Good on you Carl, what a great offer. Especially after it costing you so much in postage last time.

And thanks to Frank&Earnest for arranging it.

BozinOz, so far I have you as a nibble around the bait, you did not actually say "I'm in"... I have not PMd my address to anybody yet, was waiting a couple of days to do a bulk mailing. I am bolding the names of the entrants as we go, so if I missed you yell out.

Incidentally, if I have to send one email at a time at five minutes intervals it is going to be a real drag. Any way out of this? Also, is any moderator raising their hand to help with the presentation/polling task?

ETA: Groggy just suggested DJ's timber as an excellent choice - thanks Greg! He's also a supplier, maybe we could twist his arm to sponsor a prize also!
