    Sounds good Paul. I suggest that the material to be sawn should be shot guns for two reasons: it would be softer than my Tallow Wood and I can then use them to hold pikers like Shane and NCA to ransom.

    In between I'm delivering furniture (commissioned cabinet and love job chairs) and doing a forum 'mates run' into Southern QLD. The forum express rides again!
    Re the GTG, I'll get a few of you to make just a little more noise and no-one will know I'm missing?

    No need to bring your chair John - it's still here. Actually it was the main reason I had to build the storage shed.

    Or Dave's "tinny" so he can be on an even keel.

    Perhaps we could contact the government and see if they have any stocks left over from the proposed amnesty. I am not convinced they would initimidate Shane and NCA however.

    "Sloped Gullets? Does eating lunch in a semi-reclined position count?" That would be a relaxed rake not a sloped gullet.

    I'm doing my very best not to hijack Brett's thread, but I thought this might be a good time to mention that if there is some interest I have some items to bring along.

    Firstly I have some boards made of that chopping board type material. I have forgotten the name it goes by. It is a series of initials (first one is a "P") but I just call it polypropylene, which is probably incorrect.

    These boards have some holes in them. These are mainly large and threaded. They currently have a plug in them that is easily unscrewed, but are in the corners. In other words they could be cut off and there is still a fairly handsome piece of board remaining: Much bigger than a kitchen chopping board. The dimensions are as follows:

    950mm x 440mm x 45mm
    850mm x 440mm x 33mm
    850mm x 440mm x 12mm

    Then I have some stainless steel rods in extremely good nick.

    1625mm x 25mm (may be 1" I have to double check) Threaded BSF one end for 165mm. The other end threaded BSF for 65mm.

    580mm x 19mm (probably 3/4") Threaded (UNC) for 25mm at each end

    I have brass nuts to suit the 1" rod and copper nuts to suit the 3/4" rod.

    Lastly I have what I originally thought was stainless steel plate. However I realised that the plate was only heavy, not bloody heavy. It should have weighed around 160Kg+, but only notched up 56Kg on my ex bathroom scales.

    It is in fact aluminium plate. Again it has large holes in the corners and some other holes some threaded in other positions. To my mind it would make an extremely good surface plate and the holes could be useful for clamping

    The dimensions:

    975mm x 570mm x 38mm and heavy (but not totally unmanageable).

    If there is interest I will post some pix. On request I can bring something along to the GTG. Clearly most of these items are not ideal for posting. I will be putting them up for sale in the Marketplace at some stage.

    I believe the stainless rods would suit those of you looking to make up bench vices. I can cut the lengths and I may be able to extend the thread length too as I am in the process of sourcing suitable die nuts for the two sizes.

    The poly is the sort of material that dummy fences are made from for your saw and router tables and is very easily cut and machined.

    I don't think it is appropriate to post prices here, but suffice to say that the range is between $10 and $50 for the individual items. PM me if you would like further details.

    Regards
    Paul

    PS: I'll have some saws for sale too for those of you who want to do some work in the evenings but are too considerate of the neighbours and also for those of you who thrive on hard work .

    I've been talking with NCA and he's a bit upset about the general disbelief in his justifiable aversion to tallowood

    Nick

    Perhaps you should suggest to him, tactfully of course, that it might be better if he does not put his hand up for the saw experiment. We don't want him all cut up about it.

    PUHMWP?
    I guess that would be Paul's Ultra High Molecular Weight Polypropylene
