mobbsie Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share #1039 Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Guys, Thanks for looking in and the good words. I must say I have nothing but praise for both Proxxon and the delivery company DHL, 6 days from ordering to my door and from Germany to boot. Right on nail Andy but not telling yet. I've rethunk my next build, I'm fed up with waiting for the Surprise to come out so I'm going to have a go at a scratch. It will only be a small build and hopefully something different, a good bit of research will be needed and I think it will test my woodworking skills to the limit. ( I'm not that good at woodworking ). It's still in the embryo stage at the moment so I'm not going to reveal what the project will be just yet, but please feel free to try and guess, if anybody gets it I will fess up. Grant your excluded from this ( love your maths ). Thanks for the info Frank, I haven't checked it out yet but I will. B.E. Sorry mate, can you do an appraisal of the Thicknesser when you get it, it's next on my hit list. For now it's back to the Aggy, she's not been touched for a few days now and is feeling a bit neglected.
