It is just after lunch time Saturday here and I just did a series of 21 pics in 10 minutes of how I obtain my pics and post them on forums. I took the pics hand wobbly held from behind the set up using camera and camera flash with the set up lights on. Apologies for the dust on the copier paper background. I love Conkerberry the timber comes from an over 120 yr old bush in tough country in the Northern Territory, The pen is resting on a small offcut sent to me by the English Pierre from the middle of the south of France.I even never advanced the biro (my normal habit when taking pics.

This shows how incredibly simple it is to show my pens. Since I have bored the forum enough so many times with the iteration I now call my permanent set up,from pic to forum in a very few minutes.This pen pales in comparison with Pierre from Paris masterpiece earlier ,I show pens as they come up with no thought of the erratic pen of the week,proud to share. Compared with my visit to a new specialist a drop dead georgeous young lady yesterday who is operating a few times on me sometimes soon.

How many times have I read can you thread timber, what handskills do you admire, where do you get your timber etc.All answered by Pierre today.

Peter.

Ian with regard to collecting,advancing our stash etc,have a gaze at the map of for example Australia ,now see the physical distances between capitals. Use the distance scales on maps,now cost out petrol,means of transport. Examine as I have to your means and aspirations. Scary no doubt.My Church has suspended all meetings,gatherings throughout the world,my daughter in the US is a Teacher in middle school ,all schools are closed. Hers is a district where the high percentage are disadvantaged and are given breakfast and lunch each day. What I am saying this is a time for real examination of priorities, real needs and ambition.

I do trust you and yours are safe and cared for.

On another note yesterday I assisted a forum member from Victoria 400 miles south of here in Melbourne who hired a large trailer to come to Canberra for two days to collect a Hercus Metal Lathe c/w heaps of extras,it is almost identical with mine.Pic of some of the extras.

Take care.

Peter.
