Well said but I think smokers will argue they are paying for it. HAve you seen the Tax on cigs latley?

And I suppose your one of the ones overburdening the mental health system because of your drug habit that formed from playing to many killing games when you were a kid with pretend guns. I rest my...

Go The Commonwealth Bank!...

Err... Reading about and acting out are two different things. Acting out is generally positive reinforcement and reading/listening is neutral or negative reinforcement (depending on how the article...

Look I agree. Just because you drink alcohol doesnt mean you will become an alcholic or shoot a gun you will become a killer.

However I think the time has come to teach our children what is and...

I see, so kids rocking up to emergency departments with eye injuries is good fun eh. I think the health system is already under enough strain dont you.

My fears are all true, you're all a bunch of gun slinging Westerners.

I may be flamed for saying this.. or you may even rip off my head and spit down my throat just before you shoot me but.......

The majority of guns (especially pistols) are used for killing and...

I made a new tray and made tray runners all the way around the inside of the box and flocked up to the edge of these runners.

Maybe you could import them and sell them on ebay to make some money on the side.

That is a a brilliant idea.

Great feet, They compliment the box nicely. Job well done!

Auld, this may be a little unconventional but it is not stringing in the sense of routing groove and putting in a strip "string". I prepared the rosewood sourround, to this I laminated on silver ash...

Thanks Midge & John

Ive not seen the acrylic stuff but I have used the q render in the past and was very impressed with its adhesion and finish qualities. Bloody expensive though compared with...

This is my first veneered project using commercially purchased thin veneer. The squares are tas blackwood in basket weave pattern, outlined in silver ash and rosewood surround with silver ash keys....

It is not always possible but a nice thick coat of axle grease over the object you do not want stolen will almost always stop theft.

Theives hate getting their hands dirty!

What on earth is this?

This is just amazing....

Is there a count down running until you switch it on?

Box is tasmanian blackwood. Lid is Silver ash with tas blackwood laminations. Finished with Ubeaut Blonde shellac and EEE.

You can't be serious........ Before you start doctor bashing, Do you have any idea how much medical indemnity insurance costs? Do you have any idea how much time a doctor spends studying so he/she...
