    However, I can't leave it at that. I'm a woodworker, not a sculptor. And I have a few ideas. I want to leave it as intact as possible, but I'm undecided whether to scrape it back to enhance the shape or try to leave it au naturel.






    I wonder if I can get away with threading some hi-intensity strip LEDs through it's length and hanging it over the lathe?
    Hi peoples .. Jealous now that I couldn't get there.

    was anyone able to identify the timber in the stick ?

    Just a short note to thank Brett and Lola for their generosity in letting me bunk in their front room for a couple of nights, and to Skew and Ann(ette) for putting me up for a night in their spare room. I had a great time on Sunday and would like to thank everyone for coming and making Cinco De Mayo such a success, it means a lot to us Mexicans .

    Mind you, if there had been any breeze to speak of.....you'd have heard the distinctive dull clink of brass on bricks.

    At about 4pm or so it cooled right down to become a very chilly evening. Doing the personalised barn tour this morning at around 8am for Shmiller and Dave I could still smell freshly snapped brass.

    And Ray, the next time you want me to touch your knee can you please pre-inform me that when the guy behind me says "higher" that he's referring to the temperature?
    The offer of placing your hand on my knee was so you could feel how cold they were at that point in time, no other offer intended or implied I can assure you. Didn't hear the strange fellow behind you and I am then glad I was sitting down unlike yourself bending over in front of him. I wondered why the smile on your face.

    Ok just crawled I to my own bed. I know its early - but I'm stuffed. Think I've either for a bad case of hay fever or coming down with the dreaded lurgy.


    Once more - thanks to everyone, it was a great weekend.

    Default Booty left behind

    Someone left a bag of 12 adjustable feet that were marked "4 for $5". Discovered yesterday when I finally got to clean up the "For Sale" tables.

    Wow I gotta try that next time - if I can't sell or swap something, leave it behind and then swap it lol . I like the move.


    I was just about to say it was yours when you chimed in.

    Yep, that'll be fine Pat. Always useful to have some hardware on hand. Do you recall how many kilos per foot they are rated for?

    What grits do you want?

    And thanks for dropping off that package.
