Ex seabee ay my old dad was the aussie equilivent a member of the CCC's (civil construction core ) drafted by the Australian army in WWll to build airstrips , harbours etc was a participant in the battle of brisbane :D
Welcome aboard, Bob. If you survived military service and law enforcement, this gang can't grind you down. Might even give you praise once in a while. Send some pictures of your work, especially processes. We LOVE pictures.

Are pictures of firearms allowed in Australia? have heard of some strange laws over there and I dont want to cause trouble. Ignorant Yank.!!!!I can send pics of those I have built or are in process. This is neat, I swap pics with a fellow in South africa as well. Bob:U and England
Hello Bob, good to see you here in this international community, Aussie's, Americans,
Canadians, Dutchie's and more nice people, so don't feel yourself lonesome.
We all like it to see pictures, so if you have some, post them.
Have a good time here.
Ad :)
Lonesomebob was my old CBradio handle, seemed too good to let it go,so here I am. Bob
G'day Bob And welcome along.:):):)
Bob,
Welcome .Yes we do allow photos of guns. We reckon it doesn't have the same effect if you threaten someone with a photo. Might even say it has a negative effect.:U

While the government over hear would love to see no firearms in public hands I think most forum members are a little more realistic and enlightened about such issues.

That is refreshing to hear. We only hear what wonderful gun control you have. Is it any wonder that Yanks and Aussies got on so well . I started building fire arms at 15. and still at it My project for this winter is a grandfather clock. I had a 200year old one ,I gave it to my daughter in Colorado, that way it goes where I wanted it to. Now I have an emty space. cruising clocks is how I found you guys. Carry on and have a good day. Bob
