  1. Our dogs regularly drag home dead animals like rabbits, hares and wallabies or possum and chew on them. They even recycle vomit, they are quite disgusting at times! Tony.
  2. In those ebay photos, the machine doesn't appear to be threaded correctly! Tony.
  3. Yes, we call them Cup Washers also. Pretty easy to find, even our little local store has them in brass and chrome. Tony.
  4. Welcome, Martin. One of my best friends is a Latvian. He had the pleasure of your ex president stay with him for a couple of weeks and tour our state. I'll pass on your website and he may drop you a line. Tony.
  5. What has caused the cost of living to rise just in that area? Government charges, council charges? Tony.
  6. I see that Mother Nature is causing some grief in the US with a tornado and causing headaches like she has done here in Australia of late. I was just wondering if all the Katrina victims have finally been able to return to their houses yet? I can see our fire victims will be homeless for quite a while and it wont be much fun living in tents for any extended length of time. These incidents make you appreciate what you have and the lifestyle you lead. Tony.
  7. You can purchase a proper Leather Rougher which does a good job or some very rough Carborundum sanding belt. Tony.
  8. 6 stitches to the inch, but if it's thin, use 7 or 8. Tony.
  9. I had one through my workshop a few years ago and it looked as if the tree had been cut out with a chainsaw and then coated with Plaster of Paris to hide the highs and lows and covered with Cheesecloth. I reckon the timber was old broken pallets or such. Not worth 20 cents! Tony.
  10. I thought it looked like an abrasion or scratch. Tony.
  11. The death toll this morning is now 176. They think it may exceed 200. Tony.

    Sewing Awl

    It is much easier and neater to use 2 needles and harness makers awl with a diamond shaped blade!!! Tony.
  13. The foot feeds the leather through, so the serrations on the foot would mark the grain side of the leather. Tony.
  14. I see that the Police have re-arrested a suspected firebug. If he's guilty, I know what I'd do to him! Tony.
  15. Not only are 66 people dead but 640 homes and a couple of towns also. Tragic loss of life. A lot of livestock and pets etc. Tony.
  16. It is 42 years today since we had a bad bushfire which claimed 61 lives here in southern Tasmania. I hope it never happens again. Tony.
  17. It looks as if it must have done a lot of work if they are all replaced parts! Tony.
  18. While watching the Tattoo, I noticed the black and white hairy thing they wore just below waist level and I'd like to know if that is also a Sporran? And what would they carry in that? Tony.
  19. I see. In other words, too much spare time on their hands! Thanks for enlightening me. Tony.
  20. Here are some pics of the shuttle cover on my Adler. Tony.
  21. Roo, I see that you're back in the 40's this weekend! You'd better stack the 'fridge. Tony.
