    A Ubeaut cap and a couple of bandsaw blades which I'd ordered from Henry Bros the week before. Managed to resist buying a mop and/or snuggle pillow (?).

    Wasn't in the mood for spending money. I was mainly looking forward to the old tools but was very disappointed by what was there and the prices they were charging. Had a nice chat to Colen Clenton and I've given his and Terry Gordon's price lists to SWMBO for my birthday wish list.

    Was good to catch up with some of the forum members too, even though a couple of them were responsible for the headache I had on Wednesday morning....

    Much cheaper to buy a chainsaw instead

    Add to my list of other stuff a piece of purpleheart for a box I've been told I have to make. Pretty lurid stuff, and I reckon resawing it will be interesting.

    I still reckon you should have smacked him around the head like Basil does to Manuel on the show, that would have woken him up

    Picked up:

    Lots of inspiration from those schoolie wipper snappers,
    Neils polishing bible - can't wait to try it out, though the pages don't really seem to do a good job of polishing I must be doing something wrong...... oh, I read the pages, then try it out
    2 clamps
    and 2 pieces of western red cedar which I have already spoken about in the timber forum :confused: I hope I can fix it 'cause I really did like it - and more to the point so did the wife, if all my timber splits like this she might not let me out to play as much.

    Was a slacker and did not meet anyone - this time next year for sure!!
    Sure had some fun but.
    Cheers
    Cheerio.
