What a bunch of Merchant Bankers!(Me included!)
Have to agree with whole heartedly!
Cheers guys!
(0h, back home again now....damn snow....)
Previously my 1950's 8" tilting table TS, workmate, jigsaw, a #4 and sandpaper was fine.
Now I need
Oh, and a sense of humour and a quick wit.
- A workbench, with a hardwood top and as heavy as a really heavy thing
- Old tools. Chisels, gouges, marking out thingy's, #1-8, in fact every plane ever made, saws, miji's shoulder/chisel/rabbet/carriagemakers/block/compass.....noooooooooo!
- hand-cut dovetail skills
- waterstones/pond/jigs/Dereks sharpening sander
- Thicknesser/jointer/bandsaw/10" TS
- Japanese saws
- Electrolysis gear
- $2000 a month for Lee Valley orders
- The best clamps on earth
- an understanding wife (still working on this one)
- American fireman Tee ('on yer Ryan ;) )
BTW, your'e not such a bad mob either, (for Aussies :D ) Thanks for all the help, and the Darkside habits.
Bit dizzy from that punch Major. I think I'm coming back to my senses now.Quote:

Both time consuming and fantastic. Thanks to you all for your help, advice and humour.

The great thing about the site is that everyone's different.
For a novice like me, that means the advice is as diverse as the people.
I found out it was alright to know bugger all about woodworking and that people here (some) actually know what their talking about and are happy to answer dumb questions.
I found out that their are other really weird people in this world (like me) that work in office's but want to spend huge amounts of money making stuff they could have bought for 1/20th of the cost but none of the satisfaction.
I have found out their are people that are stranger than me!!!:D :D :D
This is a big thing because i used to think i was on this planet by myself.
Now I have a foiley (thanks Ubewt) all those voices have gone away!
Hmmmm, let me see......
Grey hair, premature aging, headaches, sleepless nights, ulsers and a nervous tic every time I hear certain names mentioned. Increased work load, less free time, more hastles. https://www.ubeaut.biz/crying.gif
Then there's the weekly emails..... approx 20 a week asking why something on the bb doesn't work, 30 asking why their password no longer works, 40 "help I can't.....", 10 "I registered but I can't.....", 30 abusive, whinging or crying emails, 60 emails a week from non members asking me to pass on info to someone on the bb, or wanting an address of a member or wanting to order one of Carba Tecs new thingamajigs from me because they saw it on the forums so I must be Carba Tec.
Reported posts: the best week I've had so far was 52 reported posts that's 104 emails - talk about ya spam.
Laws suits: So far 12 threatened legal actions because, some idiots just have to slag off businesses or individuals on the forums without thought of the consequences. Another 20 or more (that I know of) avoided by swift editing and quick negotiation.
Still looking for an upside......... Nup, can't find one.
Wait a minute....... It's been fun. Does that count?
Thank goodness I have an understanding wife, a and a Shane, otherwise it would all have gone to hell in a handbag ages ago.
Cheers - Neil https://www.ubeaut.biz/laughing.gif
Now if I could just find a way of making a cent for each person that visits the forums...... Hmmmm that would definitely make it all worth while.
I know i am reasonably new here, but what the hell is a foily, and where can I get one......
Now where are those pancakes.
And what's more......... No muffins at Sydney WWW Show.
Think I'll go and eat worms. https://www.ubeaut.biz/throwup.gif
Neil :)
PS Cagey - Do a search!
See what I mean. I have hade dozens of emails over the last 6 mth asking, "What's a foily?"
That was my old nickname, can I sue you now??? :pQuote:

Peter.
Bill & Wendy & Cliff and many others have said what matters eloquently ...
info on many things (technique, tools, keeping fingers :eek:, working with what you have .. )
fun ..
that intangible of being accepted :o
and I had to vote for the foilies & panckes. ???? :confused: ????
What everyone else said - but its great to meet a great bunch of people both online and in person. I have learnt a lot from peoples collective experience and advice. And its not a bad place to hang out with others that share a common interest.
Cheers
Ive got a whole tin of em at work, there yours just send me your address so I can send em COD.Quote:

O.K. everyone, his ubeautness says "do a search" is a reasonable response. :)Quote:

It is the definitive opinion on the need for searching before posting. :)Quote:

Now do this:

As my wife often says Im addicted to this BB
but thats because it has lots to do with woodworking and a fair bit about funny silver hats and the good Aussie sledge put in here and there.
what more do you need?
?
?
?
?
on reflection i need lots of other stuff.
Cheers Ian :)
Laughter, knowledge, comraderie, collectivism, an unkempt garden, several blocked gutters ,and a bigger belly(& a sore belly from laughing) from sitting here interacting with you mob, which by the way can be done while I'm spending time with my family, helping with homework, arranging work, and as an added bonus it keeps me off the streets and out of gaol :p
it's actually quite
:cool:

Finally my pancakes. Thanks Zenwood.
Heres my fail safe recipe
1 cup S/R flour
1 egg
pinch of salt (yes even for sweet p/cakes)
up to a tbl spoon of sugar
2/3 cup milk
mix to consistency of thick cream (add more milk if required) let rest for 1/2 an hour then cook in moderate pan til bubbles pop thru, then turn and cook for further minute or so. I dont cook in much butter, just enough to stop sticking and wipe out excess
You wont be dissapointed
That's the way to make them.
Then top with a spoonful of caster sugar and the juice of a lemon
Looooooooooooovely.Three more please.
You all (or most of you) keep on reminding me HOW MUCH I HATE BLOODY PANCAKES!! :eek: The sight of aluminium foil (aluminum, for the yanks) is also starting to make me feel ill! :mad:
the forum is always a good source for answers to ww problems.
Also you guys are are good scapegoat for my little tool purchasing problem...:o "...sorry dear if you want a table like the one Major made I need to get some more tools"
oh yeah and I really, really must have a bigger shed ;)
