Like I said, it was in the US. They are a division of General Motors, and still going strong thank you very much.
On a much nerdier...

I'm reminded of a story I heard a few years ago. A car maker in the US (I think it was Saturn) sold a whole bunch of new cars before they realized that someone had put the wrong coolant in the...

Got mine today. Big thanks to Darryl, Rob and his team for all their work. And a big thanks to all of you. Without the teamwork and trust demonstrated here, none of this would have happened.

Have to wait till Monday now. I missed the truck, so have to wait for redelivery. At least now they know to leave them in a safe location if no one is home

we have put our money into your account for the extra

A Plossl is a type of eyepiece, a Barlow is a lense that you can put in the scope before the eyepiece that magnifies the image by (usually) 2 times (but can be more or less), and a CCD is a camera...

After seeing the pics of their operation, I'd like to give my two BIG thumbs up to Rob Lee and his team for helping put all this together. That place is HUGE, and clearly didn't need our order, but...

I just finished building my bench (will post pics once its flattened). I used Kiln dried hardwood for the bench top, and it weighs a tonne. Crapiata pine for the legs and underframe. Total timber...

My history isn't too bad, so I understand what the Dutch put up with. They actually harboured more jews than anyone else. However, I don't think the government that fled has any claim to back taxing...

And the citizens of Holland just accepted that?? If they tried that here there would be open revolt!!

I asked a vet this question years ago when I was breeding some dogs, and he said probably not a good idea to use manmade (MDF, Plywood, Chipboard etc) because of the chemicals in them. Specifically...

I heard an American in a shop one day ask if "you have any of that Jay-rah?"

I found my funnel at a 2 dollar shop. Well actually it was at Lane Cove, so it was $6.99. But the diameter was actually BIGGER than the Triton dust bucket, so some careful time at the bandsaw and...

Cheers Sturdee, I spent a couple of hours of the weekend hacking into my Triton dust bucket with some trepidation. Your system went together surprisingly easy, and the difference is mind blowing. NO...

And just out of curiosity, any idea of if it would be worth sending air freight now? Probably not worth it, but I have to ask. Maybe we have a big enough order now to make it viable

I for one would be happy to send Darryl a little more than what we would probably pay NOW, just to ensure that he is not out of pocket when the time comes. He is doing us all an incredible service,...

I had to buy one from Carbatec before committing to the big order, so I got one of the meter long ones (or 41" I think). Its an absolute joy to use, but I need another.... One is good, 2 would be...

yeah they're not like car engines. If the engine is hot, it can run lol

Sorry to turn this thread icky, but I have to bring this up. When I left school I took up an apprenticeship in aircraft maintenance. My immediate boss was a real a$$ kicker, you sure knew when you...

SWMBO allowed the purchase, so I just put my order in for a "B" pack, with the "Please note: This is part of the Australian WoodWork Forums Bulletin Board Order for bulk delivery. Reference: Rob Lee"...

When it comes to payment, anyone with an e mail account can set up a Paypal account. Might be the go. So long as the recipient can be trusted ;) :D

To this day I don't know how this happened.......
Years ago I was a pushbike courier, and after work I would take the train home to the burbs where I lived. I would get off the train, onto the bike...

I would be interested in a bulk buy for sure. 1 "B" package for me. We might not get away with it, but if the box is labelled "gift" then its not subject to duties. Not so sure about a big box though

Well thats just heartbreaking. I was all set to order the "B" package, but at that freight price........ I havent seen these clamps in Oz yet, anyone know where they can be bought locally? These are...

"I happen to have a vewwy good fwiend named Biggus Dickuss

From memory Michaels contract is for about $40 million US a season. How many people do you know that would donate 3 months pay? I heard he did it because one of his bodyguards and the man's children...

If anyone is looking or even thinking of getting a dog, now is the time. Rescue agency Doggie Rescue's lease on its Homebush premises runs out next weekend, and the fate of hundreds of dogs rests in...

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Couldn't have put it better chook. Are you a manual arts teacher? you certainly talk the talk

I got a few prezzies early, like a new Makita LS 1040 compound mitre saw and a digital camera. On the day, the missus bought me the first season of Star Blazers on DVD (I don't expect many if any to...

DVD cases, I think, are about the same height as a video case

Cheers RR. Just did a quick check, and it will hold 116 DVD's comfortably. A few more if you jam them in. Moving away from pine to Tassie Oak has made a world of difference. While building this I was...

Thanks puppy. The camera's flash does wipe out some of the colour and grain. It does look better in person lol. As for it being plain, well horses for courses I guess. I'm still pretty new to making...

I built this on request from my step mother. Until a year ago we hadn't spoken in ten years. She didn't want to be a bother, and took a bit of convincing when I said I wanted to build her something....

I got married just two weeks ago (4th December). The day after the wedding she takes me to buy me a new digital camera. The day after we go to the Gold Coast for a week in a swanky hotel. When we get...

i am a teacher (well pretty much)-and i got roused on earlier this year over dress code where i was working so i know what you mean (had to wear a...

If I happen to discover a work colleague who is also a woodworker, I refer to it as dabbling in the black arts. Funny that some people I know think that it would be too rude to ask me to make them...

Just curious..... Which school? My SWMBO just landed her first job as a geography teacher at Waverley College, and she's fresh out of uni.
A female woodwork teacher? Wow, how cool......

The longer you fire a belt fed machine gun, the longer the belt gets. Now I ask you, even if you're only firing blanks, surely you still have to reload?? Why edit it out??
