To All:

I have been storing my engine building information in files intended
for use with home-built airplanes. But engines are pretty much the
same, for airplanes or cars. You're welcome to join but the Chuggers-
alt. file isn't a chat group like we have here. You have to ask
permission to get into them, and any questions go to me and are not
given to the whole group to read unless I think the question will
contribute to the whole.

The point I want to get across is that just because I have to approve
your membership and messages, it's not because I consider myself some
kind of wizard, it's just because that's the way they've got it set up
over there.

you know there are box stores and then there are box stores.
(picking up from your header)
downunder we have Bunnings which is like Home Depot but in green and
white instead of orange and white signs. All the stores even have the
same basic layout as Home Depot.

well where I live we have small amounts of Alaskan Yellow Cedar sold
as pool decking in all of the stores. 1" x 6" planks.sometimes lovely
stuff.
we even see Pawlonia as tongue and groove boards. thats a timber the
kiwis use as an alternative aviation timber.

on the other side of australia, nada. not a single useful aviation
suitable timber in any of the green and white shops I checked.

bland borg like uniformity can certainly vary a lot.

I've used a lot of Alaska Yellow Cedar-Boat, organ wind chests.----That
was back when they had screen doors made of wood-not aluminum--what was
available to me was 5/4"X 12"---beautiful stuff..
It's 10% stronger in every column of the FPL's Wood Handbook--and 10%
heavier too--don't git sumpin fer nuttun!--Don't hesitate to use it!

For those of you who have taken the time & trouble to let others know
about wood in your area, please accept a heart-felt Thank You. It's
surprising how few home-builders seem to forget that INFORMATION is as
valuable as pulling up some wing-shade, popping the top on a cool one
and gassing about what they consider to be information. It all counts
for 20 but knowing whoz got what fersale where is sometimes more
valuable than we realize.

So thanks again.

-Bob
