Look what I found on my doorstep today
After 2 1/2 months waiting on backorder here in the states, it finally got here.
I am happier than a pig in mud
Cheers,
Bob

Good one. Your going to be a happy little camper.

Onya Bob. One of the best tools you'll buy (if you're into making boxes that is). Next thing is to come over here to one of our WWW shows and get some first hand instruction from Roger Gifkins. Mind you, I think Roger should be given the Nobel Prize for Woodworking!
Enjoy.

Keith,
I agree that Roger should win the prize of prizes. His jig is absolutely fantastic. I sure wish a trip like you mentioned was possible.Cheers,
Bob

Bob, I just came home from the Sydney Timber and Working with Wood show, where I bought a Gifkins jig from Roger's wife at his stand. I saw Roger demonstrating earlier. So now I finally have the jig I need! Mind you, I haven't built my router table yet, so still a ways to go....

Never give up.

Hi Bob,
Congrats on your new toy. You are going to love the Gifkins, it is the best. I envy you getting to see Roger 1st hand and doing what he does best at that.
Yesterday was my birthday and my wife added the H10 template and bits to my set up
Cheers,
Bob

I have just finished spending 3 days working with Roger at his stand at the Sydney wood show (hoping a small portion of his ability will rub off) . Bob, I am curious as to why the delayed delivery? I am sure Roger would appreciate the feedback.
