Thanks for all the greetings.
Woohoo - post number 2.
Trapper - no, no, no. I am not planning on making wooden clocks with gears and all - merely the frame/surrounding for the electronic mechanisms.
Jimjam - I got the money back BEFORE Nkandla!! I think I had to pay in last time.
My pens are pretty ordinary - slimline ball pens. I just like the different woods - african rosewood my favourite at the moment. Or some kameeldoring fire wood that looked too good to burn - acacia i think.
