Another Stubby for Ballarat
Had fun at the wood show in Melbourne and finally decided to "trade in" my chinese MC-1100 for an Australian Stubby S1000.
I now have 4 to 6 weeks to get the shed decked out so that it can welcome it's newest and most regal member.
Regards,
G.O.Varvey

Two people in Ballarat with a stubby.
Next thing you will be starting a stubby club and
people like us will not be able to even visit the area
without a permit.

I'm very happy. Although would you believe I spent most of the weekend saying "No we can't afford" and the wife saying "Just do it". And she won.
She is one in a million.
