Shows using a hinge to lift the tool on the return stroke doing T slots, anyone ever heard, seen or used this? I need to do a T slot to try it out.

Hi Dave
I have tried it on a large shaper, 16" stroke and it worked well.

The stick has arrived safely, I have already put the info onto my PC and am ready to post it on. I will PM the next inline for an address.

Hi,

Who is next in line?

Ben.

Ok guys, the list as I see it but I could be wrong.
MattG is about to send it to Rodd Perrin. Then,
Bruce Abratool
Ken Toggy
Lamestllama
Ben Bwal74
Craftsman12
Ueee
Gary Edwards
Then if noone else has been added to the list, it's back to me.

Phil

That is correct Phil,
I have Rodd's address and it will be in the post first thing in the morning.
Matt

HI,

Its been awhile and haven't heard much about the location of the travelling stick? Any idea where it is, and who's next?

Cheers Ben

I have not seen or heard of its whereabouts

Regards

Garry

Good question. I will investigate.

Phil

It seems to be stuck with Rodd Perrin. I have sent a PM. No reply yet.

Phil

Hi Brotherhood,

I am the current holder of the stick. Apologies for sitting on it for too long.

I have sent Bruce a PM for his address so I can pass it on.

I'm off to sit in the corner to think about what I have done

Rodd.

Duplicate it and post off 2 to different people. If a few people did that, the information would get bout quicker.

I'm not on the list so this isn't a self-serving suggestion for once.

To the naughty corner for you Rodd!!

PDW, probably not as a lot of people are adding to it as it goes around.

Phil

Only if you can say it with the right accent

Hi,

If the stick comes to Sydney, I'm happy to pick it up from who ever has it, hold it for a day or so (to copy the info) and move it on the next person in Syd, if thats ok with all parties involved.

Ben,

ps: I've picked up a few old textbooks on shapers, would people be interested in e copies (they will be scanned copies)?
