    Default further to the now closed "How much Brainpower would it take" thread

    I'm not sure why the "How much brainpower would it take" thread is now closed ...

    but to continue on from the messages posted in that thread ...

    so is the solution for RossM (who lives in Sydney) to ask Ed.. (who lives in Queensland) if he can buy up to 10 sheets of Ed's carbon paper ?

    Even at $1 per sheet, Ross would still be $180 ahead.

    and as far as I know, AustraliaPost is still delivering between the two states

    Interestingly (maybe) you can buy transfer paper (carbon paper) in 48" by 96" sheets from Transfer Paper - Pattern Transfer Paper, they do ship to Aust, well they did last time i bought patterns from them.
    This stuff is designed for transferring patterns to wood and i'm sure i still have a couple of large sheets with some patterns.

    You can even get a version in white for dark coloured woods

    Hope this helps someone
