Re: Scum bags - thieving shits
I feel your pain brother. I had my tool trailer flogged from my front lawn about a year ago. Dickholes just rolled up, unhooked it off my ute, whacked it on their car and bolted. Arsehats couldnt al least unhook the lights for my so they ripped out the socket. $2000 for the trailer (which was only 3...

Also this one is 2 inches long rather than 1 - 1 1/2 inches from Carbitool. You blokes might not need that much but I do when doing solid bodies![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Richlite fretboards
just curious if anyone here has any experience with Richlite fretboards. I believe Gibson and Martin (amongst others) are using it nowadays but I have never seen or heard one.
Also if anyone knows where to get this stuff that would be most helpful![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: helical cutter thicknessers
hey rod im the same
I have a jointer but everything else is done the old fashioned way. I figure i have a few ways to cut the body out (handsaw, coping saw, jigsaw etc.) but i have no way of thicknessing stock...hence why i want a thicknesser

Re: helical cutter thicknessers
i appreciate that kim but i dont feel like a drum sander would be very efficient at milling rough lumber to the right size. I sometimes need to be taking off 5mm to 10mm to get to the right thickness.
