    I'm all ears Mick Any and all advice welcome from the seasoned blade makers.

    I had a good chat to Adam on Friday night and learned a thing or two, thanks Adam. I am just waiting for my checkering file to arrive from Fleabay and it will be off to Hills for heat treat for two blades. Thanks to Adam I also have so new scale materials to play with.

    Stay tuned.

    You wouldn't say things like that if you saw the state of our roads and schools! You're better off not having us invade anything,we'd only make it as far as the first pub!

    So is this the beginning of the end of our cheap eBaying or is the just temporary...

    1 Australian dollar = 0.9705 U.S. dollars


    I really dont want to pay 80c or less to the USD again but If it is ending now it was fun while it lasted...

    You were forewarned, FOREWARNED I SAY!

    Our dollar has taken a hit lately, too (Canada). We were up over 1 for quite a while, but now down to $0.95
