Good call MM, the cheque’s in the mail! I’ve just come in from the Studio ( uhhhm shed) having finished a new pair of chopsticks which will be the flagship product of my new strategy for global chopstick dominance!Quote:

But midnight man, I did not think chop sticks were allowed to put splinters in your mouth , lips or tongue. Each time I work with any of those woods I end up with lots of splinters. All the best.
Spotty will be ok for them.Quote:

I wonder how many choppies can fit into a 20' container??? S'bout time we sent a full one back to China, don't you think? (And no, don't even THINK about the economies of a 40' container!).
Yeah, but my stuff is rectangular not octagonal :( .Quote:

So 7.5 x 7.5 x 230.5 mm, which is 0.000012965625m³ to the nearest 12 decimal places (I can go more but Excel is having a hissy fit at more than 12).
So from a cube of Shmiller's finest, you can expect to yield around 77127.0185586888 choppies. Allowing 0.0185586888 for errors, that means approximately a shight load of choppies from a cube of timber. Paul, how many m³ in a 20' container (allowing for packaging)?
No, not smoking anything. Not even vaping. Just my normal state. :;
Yep, just as I thought. If you continue with that MONSTROUS 2mm kerf blade on your table saw (instead of investing in a BCT JMP mpphg saw thing) you will get a paltry 53467.6440552 .....call it 467 for convenience..... choppies per cube.
Clearly a worthwhile investment. (and we'll bring beer each time)

However, have you factored in the weight aspect? You may disregard the toilet paper for this purpose.

In my opinion the best chopsticks are made from bamboo.
Here is the Jointmaker Pro v2 at Major Woodworking Equipment in Sydney:
https://www.majorwoodworking.com.au/...ription_tabbed
I'm pretty sure that price of $1575 doesn't include GST, but even so, it's very competitive with the USA price of USD1585. Are they the same quality I wonder? Surely they can't be....
MWE does not have the Precision Fence System for it.
fletty, had I known that MWE were carrying the Jointmaker I would have asked to see one when we were there. :doh:
MY plans for World domination died the day Mini Me changed his name to Chris Parks!Quote:
