    Question U Beaut Website

    G'day all.
    I want to buy Neil Ellis's book "A Polishers's Handbook". I'm loathe to use the website to order it because it looks out of date (flashing "NEW" things dated 2002) and articles dated 1996.
    I sent a PM to Neil about getting a cap but I haven't heard back. says he's back but...:confused:

    Is this the proper site or have I stumbled on an archived site???:confused:

    Is the book available in regular Book shops?
    Anyone advise me here?

    Why not pick up the phone and give him a call.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    1) This is definitely a live site!

    2) "A Polishers's Handbook" is also available at some woodwork-related outlets - I've seen it at "The Woodworks" when they were in Gowings in Sydney.

    3) Neil will sell you the book in person at most (all?) of the major woodworking shows around the country.

    4) The 'right way' to do french polishing isn't going to change much in a mere 10 years, given that it's been around for much longer than that!

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Jim Carroll could probably supply it by Mail Order See: www.cws.au.com. So would Neil I think.

    Where abouts are you?
    Make some enquiries with your local WW supplier, I know that WW Warehouse in Braeside have them (if that is the right south of the border).

    I've used the UBeaut web site to order things a number of times, including the book, so go for it.

    Yep, I can see it from here. The whole hillside is covered with rendered monstrosities.:eek:

    Thanks Kev.
    BTW. Couldn't get to the Guild meeting earlier this month. Family illness in Queensland kept me out of sight. Will definitely attend in January if its still on.
    Cheers
