I decided to attempt to make the deck rings for the air scoops from mahogany. Was very gently on the cutting as it is very difficulty because it is such a soft wood. Before sanding i saturated them with thin CA to give the wood cells some strength and to prevent them from breaking. Used the Turbo Carver to sand as it is very gentle on the pieces. To my amazement none of them broke.

What is interesting Gary is very few people in our country knew about this service far less about the first steamship that formed part of our rail service. This boat provided an essential communication link for many years.

Hi Tom my wife and I had lots of crystal we got when we got married and never used. Last year we decided to start using it and you know what happens, they are getting broken. However before I throw them away I grind them down and use them in the shop.

yes we do have to declare but we are each allowed $2500TT free of tax so its usually not a problem

That because you live in the developed world with a strong currency. $1 US =$7TT. so thats $8 US, but we still pay through our nose to get anything here. We have air freight, 20% import tariff and 15% VAT or sales tax. Thats why I usually buy stuff and send it to my daughter in NY and pick it up when i visit,
