Her 'squeaky toy' was kicked under it so she'd stay there for the photo, no sense of humour that dog... |

Got to ask: what kinda wood izzit? There is quite a mixture. Spotted Gum, Coastal Blackbutt, New England Blackbutt, White mahogany, White stringybark, Flooded Gum (Rose Gum), Sydney blue Gum, Grey box, Red ironbark, Grey ironbark, red mahogany, forest red gum, Grey gum (v red timber), Bloodwood and Brushbox. I haven't sifted through it all yet. |

How did you manage that?
Freight alone should have been $1,000. |

We then drove there in a convoy of pickups, trucks, unicycles or whatever we could and took it to our homes. We are forming a kind of e-cooperative to get better deals, it hasn't been spoken overtly, but that is effectively what is happening. We acquired a bunch of Bessey clamps from LV in a similar manner. I think we imported about 3 pallets of clamps. Groggy |

It's even better to see it maturing into an ongoing community effort. I love it when a plan comes togetherr.
