No worries Lillian,

friends in need take priority over veneer press screws anytime.

Cheers Martin

Just waiting on a response to a PM sent to Lillian. Her email link isnt activated.

Can people who want a screw please PM me their posting address. Ill take care of paying Lillian for the goods plus freight etc and then get purchasers to reimburse me into my bank account. Ill PM details of same once Ive paid Lillian.

Cheers Martin

I can take care of paying Lillian then buyers can reimburse me via direct credit to my bank account.

At the moment the order stands as follows:

Me - 2
Allen - 2
Stu (oz tradie) - 1
Kimbo - 1

That makes a total of 6 by my calculation.

Lillian,

The vice is bolted to the bench but can be easily removed if I need the bench space. So far I havent found a need to do so...the vice has always sat where you see it in the photo.

From the previous thread the following people put their hands up for a screw:

Allen
Stu (oztradie)
Kim
Bob
Showtell
and me

Any more interested parties?

Hi Lillian,

I think we were going to have Wednesday as our deadline but we can get things moving sooner if its more convenient for you.

Im in for one...two if theres space in the box.

From another forum:

"soak a bleached bone nut in some coffee for ten minutes and watch what it does! A bit of amber aniline dye will work too..."

I havent tried this...I prefer my nuts clean and sparkly white.

My wife has a koto which she hardly ever plays....the thing is a P in the A to tune.

I love Jazz musicians playing "scrambled eggs" style.

Who's the Japanese girl playing the koto with a bow...thats totally out of this world.

Im currently out working at present but will be back home in Adelaide by the weekend. Once everybody who wants a screw ( :shock: ) has put their hand up Ill compile a list and get with Lillian and well work out logistics and cost. Payment will be straight into my bank account if thats ok. Not sure o...

Theres a beautiful old basket press at Rockford Wines in The Barossa Valley

Lillian, I'd be keen to buy one of the Rockler screws. If theres enough interest amongst forumites Id be willing to act as receiver and distributor of the goods here in Australia. Its probablly easiest for you if I make a single payment to you for the goods plus freight. Forumites can reimburse me a...

I had a loose knot on one side of the Allied Op Grade IRW I used on a recent classical. I flooded it with CA and had no problems with it. The knot actually adds character to the instrument.

Great post thanks Dom and Ill be seriously considering adopting some of your mods.
