Re: duh Travel Guitar
See not being from down under, me not familiar with your Oz colloquiums such as "friggin cack" But must afford you the benefit of the "no bout a dout it" and as such say "thank you." A rough translation would read "makes me laugh", ie I enjoy your humour. Friggin refers to masturbation and cack is ...

You're a friggin cack Padma. When tempering is it better to align the molecules with directed psychic energy or allow the chi to align by itself? I look forward to the eBook at Amazon.

Re: TC Bianca & Anthony
I sat through a Cat 3 on Daydream Island once. There was a lot of force in that puppy but fortunately the place was made of concrete so there was no real damage. Cant imagine a 4 or 5. Ive flooded three times this year as well. A good year to forget. Good luck.

Re: Lute Progress - Test runs for cutting the rosette
Very nice Martin!
How thick is the soundboard around the rosette? From memory Lute soundboards are 2.5mm at the rosette and 1.3mm elsewhere? Are you backing the rosette with vellum or the like?

I just heard on the news that Julia doesnt want a bar of it and Julie Bishop suggested putting it into the comprehensive tax review. I think its all too hard for them. Good. Death by inaction.
