awesome "110 kerfs per minute"

Nice to meet you Wayne, John, Hank, Perry, Alan and Co. Huge turnout this year, I'm sure the makers would be chuffed at that.

Stu

Started a Furniture Polishing Apprenticeship (mainly in 2 pack/ poly ) So that's been keeping me super busy. I've been lurking in the background of the forum as per usual.

Stu

I'll come down again Rod, Let me know if you guys are keen to have some frothies

Stu

Sorry It was in reply to Nick's nipple warmers. Out of context that must have sounded odd

Stu

Shame if you have really large nipples. Those are tiny....

Don't forget some possum socks too...

Thanks guys! I know the K & K are meant to be the bees knees but I picked up some valve mic pres that double as DI-s so just messing around with different options and configurations.

Stu

My brain it totally fried from work today So I apologise for this potentially silly question...Can you wire an under saddle pickup to go directly to an input jack (skipping your average acoustic guitar preamp ala fishman presys 201) and then run it through an external DI / External valve preamp? Or ...

I once received a Veritas block plane that wasn't even addressed to me from Carbatec (was another Stuart from their database) Maybe you order is with another Paul, Paul :lol: Call around all your local and interstate Pauls +1 don't order if it isn't in stock. Waited a good 6-8 weeks for some smaller...

Nice work Jeremy really nice and clean and well executed/ simple layout!


p.s I reckon your Satin box would make a nice uke (taps like a bell)!

For some reason Jeremy when I read this I pictured you rubbing your hands together maniacally laughing

"mwahahahahahahaha"

Stu

Cheers guys I just never seen one. But it would be super handy as I don't think I'm ever going to get around to being a classically trained musician

Stu

Be handy if there existed a physical tool that could be used to track the notes/ chords you are playing on an acoustic/ electric guitar (what notes/string/ if bent/ hammered off/on etc) and then convert those to midi information for import/ export into sibelius or an other piece of composition softw...

ooozing class

I'll tell ya what I thought domino's was doing terrible until I went up to Brisbane...

The huon looks more like gilding, lovely bass! Do the "flatter" less arched backs require substantially less timber than their arched counterparts? Congrats on the award!

Stu

could you use a forsner bit to hog out the majority of the headstock channels? Then get the rest with a router or is that asking for trouble?

Stu

Have a chat to Rob (auscab) if you were thinking of going down the used machine path (he's always got an ear to the ground for all things cool and old). Guess it depends if you want it to weigh close to a tonne .

Stu

best of luck on the ride

Really liking the headstock inlay Allen! It looks like you've sat there with a pin and hand engraved it, then filled that with pearl. Real neat.

Stu

It will be bloody awful if Abbott gets the taxable threshold lowered to $500...

Next thing he'll be passing some legislation to allow him to use people's super funds to start new mining projects.

Stu

KOWABUNGA DOODS!

They should call it Gnarlywood


Stu

It's a worthwhile project Allan, Paul (Ozwood) said it took him an afternoon to construct his. I did the main walls and ceiling in about 8 hours with my dad (but we had a few walls that had to be inverted as the plans were wrong). The corners are all butt joints and the center wall joins are tongue ...

Cheers for the suggestions. Paul (ozwood) suggested the delonghi dehums as well. Cheers Jeremy that's some good info... it's taken about 5 years but I'm slowly getting there...

Have you modified yours to have a drain hose bob? could I trouble you for the model of your new one Bob?
