| 538137 | 2007-04-04 01:08:00 | Anybody know a carpenter for a small job in the Auckland area? I need a +/- 3 metre bench built against a wall in the garage. Hoping for mate's rates or I'll have to endeavour to do it myself. :stare: |

| 538139 | 2007-04-04 01:37:00 | I'm sure someone with your skills could make a bench standing on your head, here are free plans: www.freeww.com Make sure you are the right way up when looking at the plans :) |

| 538140 | 2007-04-04 03:36:00 | Terry, you should be more subtle . If he is looking at the plan with a top=top view, and builds with a top=bottom orientation the physical bench instantiation will be simply inverted . Dimensions given in millimetres have been known to produce good results with a subject who thinks that the "cm" is a unit of measurement . More complicated topologies could be considered . How do we get him to buld an inside-out bench? :cool: |

| 538144 | 2007-04-05 02:23:00 | I suggest sending the drawings to China and have them manufacture the bench using virgin lumber from almost extinct trees in South American rain forests with glue made from the resins of an endangered species of a three toed, red-eared swamp frog and chemicals that are known to be carcinogens, and selling them thru E-bay to first- and second-world countries of unsuspecting consumers who cannot build their own for fear of breaking ecological laws and infringing upon union labor and fair trade treaties. :lol: | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||

Spelling: Very good. Punctuation: Sparse. Content: Lacks originality. This is already commonplace on a huge scale. Conclusion: If you could spend more time on your homework and less on trout fishing we might see the work we know you are capable of. ;) |
