Where'd you find that one Hal? And does it come in 4 inch and in 7?

It an arbourtech.
They are cute...but they need to be sharpened regularly or they are a pain in the butt.

Basically has the same tooth structure as a chainsaw.
They are also available in a peculiar extended version that has a small wheel on the end of an arm that plugs onto your grinder. Goes around corners!

I think I shall just keep tortuing wood in my own way

I seem to recall that was an Australian invention - along with gene splicing and the wine cask.

Oh, and Vegemite, of course.

If I remeber right Vegemit is basicly a salty vegtable paste you can spread on bread or add to water to make a soup like stock. It was to rave in the 80's and was even mentioned in a song by the group Men at Work

"he just smiled and handed me a Vegemite sand-wich"

Seems there was also a Meatemite spread too. Kinda like potted meat I belive.

It is a soy bean version of peanut butter.

The idea behind the stuff had been as something that would give you lots of B vitamins and would not require refrigeration -- useful on a bare-bones sheep station near the Tropic of Capricorn.

Vegemite has a *very* strong flavor, so take it in the native manner: spread thinly on toast, so that it merely becomes salty and piquant. Buttering the toast beforehand is optional.

It's nothing at all like peanut butter.

PAH!
What a load of phooey!
The more vegemite the better! And butter is bad for you, so leave it out. Don't forget that if it's not spread at least half an inch thick, that you suck!

Our now baron, Master Gwynfor and the now Duke Elfin of Mona spent a Pensic convincing the locals that the traditional Australian coctail was to take a spoonfull of vegemite in your mouth and then wash it down with overproof bundeburg rum.

They managed to convince a staggering number of people...
Problem is that by the fourth or firth day of demonstrating this perverse and disgusting joke they were perpetrating on the knowne worlde....
...they actually found that they had come to liek the taste!

Yikes. Peerage....what can you say?

One more time:

Vegemite is pocessed yeast byproduct and vegetable matter. Essentially you take brewers dregs and boil them down with carrots, etc until you get a thick brown paste. Its terribly rich in nutrients and well, has a "distinct" taste. Some aussies like it, and some dont, although, from what i hear its the aussie "peanut butter". If you would like to try it, for whatever reason, you can pick it up at some larger grocers, as well as its close cousin : "marmite". (vegemite is actiually a trademark owned by Kraft)

Hal, if you ever get the unfortunate chance to taste vegemite, you are better of using it as a helmet polish. Beware any temptation to put some in your mouth as your taste buds will then lead a coup against the rest of your body in a bloody revolt.

Hi again, the cutter tool is a Lancelot made by King Arthurs Tools in Tallahassee Florida. www.katools.com

Vegemite, my wife said they got it in the grocer. "want me to pick you up some" she says. I says "Hell no, it's running 4 to one against, get me some good ol potted meat".

Matt: I rembember your little dishing stump with the ice on it pic. But I do not know where the link is.

It is rumored that if Australia continues to export vegemite that it will be added to "The Axis of Evil".

I think I've seen a similar add-on for the body grinder at Harbor Freight (~$15?). Anything not made in China is probably better.

vegemite is gross. However, it does function rather well as a temporary glue.

Don't use it to polish...for surely your helm would seek revenge. (nice rusty color buddy;p)
