I can sympathize with your problem - you just don't have the breadth of market in NZ that I have access to here, without spending a year's pay on shipping.

One of the benefits of being an old man (and having a wonderfully understanding wife) is that I don't have to worry too much about recovering my investment. Wood and glue are just the cost of the hobby. And I am able to pretty get my money back on eBay for drivers & stuff.

So just hang on Mike - someday you'll be a married old man, too!
