First off - Trevor (Toolgrinding) please check your messages.

Well, so far so good. I managed to get nine parcels out last week and I am going to try to get ten away this week. It is taking me a little longer than I thought as I am having to be quite careful with the packaging so I am having to cut the sheets to make them fit my template. The last thing I want is the parcel man to appear on someone's doorstep and ask for payment for an "oversize" parcel. That would be embarrassing.

I sincerely hope everyone is happy so far and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. The only thing is that this will take longer than I thought as I have quite a list to get through.

Hi Graham

I am waiting patiently, no hurry. Very much appreciate your time and effort, this is very generous of you.

Ian Parkin posted a message saying:

I'm away for a few weeks but on my return I hope to do a similar scheme involving rubber sheeting if anyone wants some

I can get any amount of used printers blankets which are a very high quality rubber sheet with a cloth backing alltogether about 3mm thick and perhaps 1000mm x 700 mm

Its useful for many purposes

Ian

I'm going to try and move it to a new topic so that we know what 'YES PLEASE' messages are referring to.

Made some simple angle gauges for the grinding jig above out of the plastic then made a box for them to sit in ...

What grade of wheel do you use for nylon?

Neil

The same grade as I used to make the wooden box

I've been in touch with Graham.

He apologises to anyone still waiting for their package and assures me that they will soon be on their way.

As well as the astounding response (over fifty requests!) Graham's had to deal with some difficult events to deal with, so thanks for your patience.

Neil

And thank you for that message

Well, here we are again boys and girls, more plastic (my missus is starting to get suspicious).

After my last foray I thought - "oh this will be more than enough" - little did I know how much interest this had garnered. Anyway, Friday last I collared the ever enthusiastic Reece and off we went for another bootfull!

We had to empty the skip out again because, naturally, the booty was all at the bottom - but we came away with a good haul:

I made up another nine packages and they are on their way to the lucky recipients

So, the deal is guys I am just plodding on and I will make my way through the list. This is ongoing and it looks like I will be having permanent access to this supply so there is no panic - a sort of endless supply.

I will be having a bit of a reconciliation as to what has been sent out and what needs sending out tomorrow and get back to you all with a realistic idea as to the length of the ongoing shipping as I really did not expect the level of interest. It takes me a good half day to cut up, bundle, weigh and make secure about ten packages and then I need to sort the shipping. I am not moaning about this, I think it is great, but I need to fit it in my week. I wish I could just take time out and concentrate on all the orders but this is just not possible so I do as much as I can then get on with work until the next opportunity.

Finally, on the subject of overseas posting. I have had a number of enquiries from people who want to know if I will post overseas. The answer is yes of course. If you pay the postage I will ship it. I can get extremely good rates if I send via sea as opposed to airmail which is prohibitively expensive. The only downside is it takes a little longer, typically 14 to 21 days to the US for instance.
