    Default Sybney Working With Wood Show

    Lookout NSW "U" & Doorstop will are currently heading north, making the annual pilgeimage to the Sydney WWWShow. "Beaut" is following on Thursday.

    We are on Stand 90 this year (near the exit to the outside displays) and hope to see a few familiar faces and maybe a few new ones.

    SPECIAL OFFER FOR FORUM MEMBERS
    Bring a copy of this add to stand 90 and you will receive an extra 10% discount off any of our products. All of which are already discounted for the show. This offer excludes Rotary Sander's and Swansdown mops which have a very small markup

    Even if you aren't coming to buy our products feel free to come up and make yourself known. It is good to put a face to a name. Don't be afraid to come and give Doorstop a bit of cheek, he loves it (he'll be the one with no hair or wearing a cap or beanie).

    Cheers - Neil

    I caught up with him on the saturday, quite a helpful person. Got a few products he recommended for the work I do .. think he even managed to convince SWMBO that I need more tools for the shed!

    he never did give me those beauty tips....

    Default Wanna see some back xrays?

    Doorstop - I hope you don't have to go down the track I've been forced onto . . .

    here's a link to xray pics of MY back - I had surgery in 1997 and again in 1998.

    If you want information or have questions about chronic back pain, just hesitate to email me (j/j)

    Heh, there's a lot to be said about bad backs . . . and NONE of it is good !!

    Take it easy with your back, from experience, once it goes, it never comes back . . . but then, I'm at the 'nightmare' end of the scale re back injuries, I hope some inversion and chiropractic work solves your problem . . . the alternative sux greatly !!

    Default What's wrong with doorstop.

    Doorstop, I reckon you've just got a bad case of "Carpenter's Back", ie it's just worn out. I just had an appointment with Commonwealth Rehabilitation Services last week and they're going to see what they can do with a middle aged chippie with a crook back, shoulder, elbows and wrist (plus ailing hearing and bad breath ). It makes you think back though, doesn't it, all those times you stood wall frames up by yourself, or threw bearers onto your shoulders or did something (which in hindsight was) equally silly. Good luck, hope the pain eases.

    Mick
