Hi Dave Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at the database. I am thinking of asking a local school if I can use their gym for a regular whip cracking...
I would think that they would require insurance, but I'm not certain. I've not approached any schools about using their facilities, but have looked at local...
Hi folks Dave here. Just uploaded a page to my site with some useful / interesting book titles on it; along with my views on them. I don't sell the books...
Hi, I am making a Zorro board; can anyone advise me what size to cut the target holes? I was thinking of cutting five 4" holes with the target (candle or...
Thanks for the book recommendations Dave, I picked up a copy of 'Cowboy Fun' and found it fascinating especially the picture of three guys carrying that 80...
... Ha!! If the zorro board at the convention last year is anything to go by then you need to make the holes about 18" across... Then mount the candles 1/2" in...
Hi all, Has anyone got a picture of a Zorro board? They sound pretty simple to knock up out of scrap wood, so if anyone could give me a general idea, or a...
Good luck! I couldn't snuff out those pesky candles at all when I had a go. Dave suggested that it was much easier when the candles had just been lit, and I...
Mick The target holes on a Zoro board are 3 inches. I f you would like the dimensions of the Zoro board, I would suggest getting in touch with Josh at JDeWhips...
Hello All Here is a link to some pictures of a Zoro and Dice board. http://hometown.aol.com/jdewhips/page3.html The best way to snuff out the candles is to...
Thanks for the link Larry; it looks like I have made a 'dice board' rather than a 'Zorro board'. Funny I thought a `Zorro board' had a `Z' pattern this one...
... *lol* I'll send the dog round, she'll soon tidy up for you ;-) Shelley x __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...

Hi, Interesting piece of research there. Medieval and other Historic artisans had a very different way of looking at the world. You can't be sure that just...
Hi Charles Yes, you're quite right. My statement doesn't quite hold up. Looking again, I realise that although there are many touches of detail showing design...

Hi, Ok well I DO use IE (I don't have a MAC either) and I have had no trouble at all, not even slow. Maybe worth checking with the microsoft update thing, or...
Hi All, Just to let you know there are a few spare spaces on our coach to Cornwall for BJC2006. We will be leaving some time in the morning on wednesday 19th...
Yeah done all that. It coincides with Yahoo altering their sign-in to make it more secure; and around the same time we installed a security update for IE. ...
