  1. Fortunately, lack of intellect is not transferred with said donated organs.
  2. I don't know about other parts of the world but around here, it seems like the higher the self perceived level of pro-ism of a rider, the less likely they are to ride with any sort of light, front or back. One would think that they should be setting an example to the newer guys to the sport. And no, having lots of lights/ high vis stuff does not make you look like a noob. On the contrary, not having any makes you look stupid.
  3. Super well done by the Lightning Goats ( blitzbokke ) 50 points scored in 2 games and 0 points conceded.
  4. Thanks. Perhaps I will do the day licence thing then until October and then renew for the following year.
  5. Eish. I need to renew my membership, ( and then get back outside on my bike )
  6. MURICA!!!!
  7. Ja, I went through a similar exercise a few years ago with a black and dekker drill that had 2 dead batteries. It is now gathering dust on a shelf in my workshop as it was going to cost more to re pack than what it cost to replace it.
  8. I got myself the drill from takealot for a good price but now I am hunting around for a good deal on a battery and charger.
  9. Possibly african rosewood. I work with rosewood quite a lot on antique pianos that we restore and it is a bit darker than that.
  10. Hey, how did you get that picture of my latest effort at dovetails?

    Who remembers?

    Haha, gotcha!
  12. So that's why you have been posting a lot recently.....
  13. Oh wow. Ok now I see. I wonder if it is possible to turn such a little thing on a regular lathe? I suppose one would have to attach each end of the little ebony stick to some sort of auxiliary piece of wood in order to get it to hold in the lathe.
  14. I can hear a chainsaw starting up in the distance....
  15. Thanks. I will have a look. Thing is I have hundreds of them. It would be a lot of PT glueing them all together but I thought since I have a lot I could actually make something with them.
  16. These things. It is just the top black piece.
  17. So, I have a whole lot of old solid ebony key tops from old pianos that we "recycle" I have been thinking of making something with them for a while now but I am short on ideas. Whatever it is will have to be laminated as the pieces are very small. Around 10mm x 10mm x 90mm. Any ideas?
  18. Flippin brilliant.I'm sure that must set you back a few zim dollars.
  19. Nice. Will you hang it from 2 seperate cables to stop it from slipping to one side?
  20. You might be onto something there,...
  21. Sorry, tapatalk seems to have rotated the images.
  22. These were my efforts today with clamps. Busy re-veneering 2 water damaged sections on the top of this antique piano that is midway through an entire rebuild.
  23. That would be Streetrod. "You dropped your transmission, klutz"
  24. Raw vs Boiled linseed oil.
