597221 2007-10-02 14:09:00 sorry for the title but as I use mailwasher my wife, whom I want to get the 'thingy' for will see titles of emails I receive and I want this for an xmas pressie for her and of course dont want to give any hints away.....

bread slicer is what I want.........yes I use a knife but I want to be able to get her some thing that'll make bread slicing somewhat more consistant and easy. I've often managed to slice the bread somewhat unevenly lol and I'd like to get something that 'll improve this ......

any SENSIBLE suggestions WILL be appreciated

597222 2007-10-02 17:17:00 I know Breville used to make one. Unsure if its still sold new in NZ. Myth (110)
597223 2007-10-02 17:39:00 How about one of these? About $30 at Briscoes from memory. Combined with a good solid serated bread knife might make a good present. (Throw in a can of oven cleaner and some vacuum cleaner bags and Bob's your uncle....:horrified )

1) Go to Briscoes and purchase five serrated bread knives.
2) Go to local hardware store and purchase 4 1/4" dowels plus a roll of duct tape.
3) Tape the knives together with the dowels between the knive's handles.

Result - one innovative breadslicer!

we already have an excellent knife for the job as for the oven cleaner and vacuum cleaner bags that'd be pushing it a bit......and yep bob IS my uncle !

597226 2007-10-02 20:42:00 You searched TM for bread slicer?

Theres those plastic things you put the loaf in and it guides the knife. Or those hand wind slicer things you use for meat and bread. WHich one/


Seems a bit extreme, a gadget to slice bread.................buy her a new graphics card instead - thats what I'd like.....

errrrrrrrr.........cant imagine why that didn't occur to me lol......


buy her a new graphics card instead

hahah NOT she would be considerably unimpressed by that.....the only 'graphics intensive' thing she uses this pc for is playing solitaire, and as for me I dont even play games .......the old fx5200 is all this computer is ever gonna need

A subject heading of "thingy wanted" would make me very curious and interested indeed . :stare:
