Welcome aboard, Bob. If you survived military service and law enforcement, this gang can't grind you down. Might even give you praise once in a while. Send some pictures of your work, especially processes. We LOVE pictures.

Bob,
Welcome .Yes we do allow photos of guns. We reckon it doesn't have the same effect if you threaten someone with a photo. Might even say it has a negative effect.:U

Welcome Bob
You will learn if you hang around us Australians that what the Law or government say is of little or no interest to the man in the street.
While the government over hear would love to see no firearms in public hands I think most forum members are a little more realistic and enlightened about such issues.

That is refreshing to hear. We only hear what wonderful gun control you have. Is it any wonder that Yanks and Aussies got on so well . I started building fire arms at 15. and still at it My project for this winter is a grandfather clock. I had a 200year old one ,I gave it to my daughter in Colorado, that way it goes where I wanted it to. Now I have an emty space. cruising clocks is how I found you guys. Carry on and have a good day.
