I will say that I pull up a stool next to the bender while I'm doing all this and my arse doesn't leave it until I turn the power off. Too easy to get distracted by something else. I did it once just after we built the bender - it doesn't take very long at all to scorch the wood. And not much longe...

Bob C's warehouse is overflowing with tonewood and he needs to offload same to his ANZLF forum mates at bargain basement prices!! :serg I knew you would be the one to figure out the emergency. :lol: PS Contact was successful.

Hey Bob, a very Merry Christmas to you as well. I've just started that Redwood top I got from you. The sustain from it is unbelievable. It should go well with the Hondo Rosewood. Please pass an Season's Greetings to Roseanne, Bob Jnr, Connie, Little Bob and Mattaya. Thanks Bob. I will forward your ...

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all. I also want to thank everyone for their patience waiting for the Ebony order. Good progress has been made. The order is on a vessel making it's way to me. As soon as the goods arrive I will ship to Allen. Warm Regards BobC ...

Allen I have owned a 22-44 Performax for about 3 years but recently sold it. It served me well but was just not fast enough for my use. I sand way too many sets. I can tell you that the belt will never track right with a buckle in it. A buckle on the outboard side will make the belt drift to that si...

Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding.
I'll keep ya' posted.

Sebastian I think your right on with your observations. I guess one needs to get stung a few times in order to weed out the rotten apples.

Thanks my friend.

Thanks Alan.
Kim you know first hand that I'm a man of my word. If I can't deliver what I promised I will issue refunds.

Good day to all. I feel it's time to give an explanation on the group buy for the Ebony & Rosewood order. My intent was to have this material delivered to Allen directly from India. The fellow that I was placing my order with has been less that honest with me. First a fire at his factory (an excuse ...

That's good news Bob. Always happy to know that a shipment arrives safe and sound.

I'd also like to thank Allen for helping me with this group purchase. It is a huge undertaking for him and deeply appreciated by me. I just wish the exchange rate was more favorable so you folks would have gotten a much better deal. The order has been placed and I will let you know when it ships. Th...

My sincere thanks to all that participated in the Cocobolo group buy.
The order left today via USPS and should be in AUS next week some time.
I'll PM Bob with the tracking info.

Welcome to the forum Dave. As it stands, this group buy is going to be shipped to Australia in probably a couple of boxes now. It would be up to Bob if he is willing to extend the price to you, plus shipping to the UK. You can contact him, or perhaps he'll chime in. Allen We can fill Dave's request...
