Can understand your frustrations mate.....hope you get it sorted. have you tried a post over on the OLF forum?

The movie has had mainly luke warm reviews here in Australia. On the ABC's Movie show it got 3 1/2 stars.....the same score the reviewers gave "Animals In Love".....a movie about the mating habits of animals. Im not going to race out and see the movie...I see plenty of the country the movie was shot...

No computer in my workshop. I work off hand drawings...... by the time youve found the right software, worked out how it works and then gone chasing after someone with a large format printer to plot out your plans you could have hand drawn a couple of drawings.

Will it get rid of the worst piece of Malware ever written.......MS Windows???

Nice pic of your Tag Heuer watch there Bob. And heres me bending sides wearing a $35 Cheap as Chips plastic special (good for 30m or is it 3 months?).

Ive snapped up two 2nd grade tops but the others are still for the taking.

Sheep-vac

Thanks Seb,

Might grab two of those second grade tops.

Mmmmm...that sheep looks nicely secured with its head stuck in that vac.

Yep those house vacs just hate plaster dust. Usually the imminent death of the machine is preceeded by a loud high pitched whine. So far Ive killed two Mieles sucking up plaster dust.....so far the cheapo Panasonic is still alive.

Nice tidy looking lines there Dave. I particularly like the binding.

I can wait Bob. Thanks for being honest with us.

Oh yeah can you please post up email address of your supplier so I can send him a christmas card.

Might be time for a post over on the Ubeaut Woodworking forums...

Nice save on that cutaway Jim.

I think 2.5mm is probablly a bit thick for a tight bend like that. I work down to at least 2.0mm on normal bends on my classicals and steel strings (using IRW).

David,

The wood arrived today......absolutely smashing parcel of wood. Thanks very much.

The vac looks really swish...it even comes with a built-in poorta-loo on top.

The mix up with the Gotoh tuner from Stew Mac was resolved in 5 days. They put one in an express post bag, no charge to me, and no questions asked. Outstanding service, and I made a point of telling them so. Stewmac and LMI are great for service. LMI sent me the wrong radius dished forms. They sent...
