Good going Frank. I've received 3 nice pens and, some sweet blanks from the past Aussie Day swaps. Actually, I received 4 nice pens. Fred Brunings (BigShed) sent a pair of them.
 
This will be my third Aussie Day Swap..They've been great. For those wondering it only cost about $11 to ship the small flat rate box to Australia...

Sure Nick.....where exactly is this wood located?:confused::biggrin:
 
Less than a week to go

Gidday all

just a little reminder that there is only a little time left to signup for this swap

I'll be doing the matchup/partnering draw at about 8am Sydney time on 26 January (which is about 3 pm 25 January in Minneapolis) but don't look before about 4 pm because I'll start a new thread at 9am (If I remember, I'll place a link here to that thread)

Anyway you can join here
 
LOL...:biggrin: I like your way of thinking Nick. In fact, I just bought a 650cfm Holley carburetor and, aluminum high rise intake for the Goodwrench 350 It might do OK in the 1/4 mile. Would it be alright if I come along? :biggrin:
 
Looks like I drew Nick (Sawdust Maker):biggrin: Man i'm gonna have to make something top notch, so I can be invited back next year.
 
Hey All,

Pm's sent to both my Partners being Peter (USNR'03) and Alexander (Vallealbert) Keen to get the Pens I mean the ball rolling fellas.
Pm me on the Aussie forum's guys or drop me an email.

Cheers and have a great day and I look forward to catching up with you both.

Cheers
Tony.
 
I'm in and have a pen and blanks to ship. What is the best way to ship to Australia? Anything special in the way of paperwork?

Yes, if you go to the post office, be prepared to spend some time filling out the customs form. Doesn't take too long. And take some $$$ with you. It's really no big deal.
 
Import restrictions ....

If you plan on sending wood, make sure you look into what you might need to do. I have not had confirmed yet but I did read where there are some hoops you need to jump through on preparing wood blanks to go in.
 
I have no idea what the wood i or what most of the blanks are that he sent. I only recognized 2 names on the blanks. What is Waddy wood? The pen I recieved is a Jr Gent FP with one of those unknown woods on it. I am truly pleased to get this package as I enjoy getting blanks as much as pens. Some day I will turn all of the blanks I have gotten or go broke trying. Thanks
