Thank you Steven for organising the competition, Paul W for your generous donation, I will make full use of the wire caddy, as I have my wire all tangled in a plastic tool box at the moment. Also congratulations to the 5,000 member, I hope you get lots out of being part of the Ausbonsai community. :hooray: :hooray: :hooray:

Well done Jonden,I hope you enjoy it,it should give you many years of good service,if you look on my original post I made a little gizmo to put the wire on to the spools too,makes it a lot easier. :hooray:

I reckon Steven is the lucky bastard though,if Mr Pup had won it, he would have been up for the extra postage to Perth. :lol: :lol:

Congratulations Jonden! What a wonderful prize. Thank you, Steven, for the competition and thank you, Paul, for the donation and making of the prize.

Congrats to the winner :worship: Just out of interest Steven, how many of those 5000 are still actively involved in posting. Just when you think you know most of the names in posts and new name pops up and they have been registered for years, so was just wondering how many of the 5000 are still actively posting and how many are dormant silent lurkers??? Awesome effort on Stevens behalf to create a site were there is so much interest to get 5000 members. Just goes to show how well moderated and run the site is so a big thankyou to Steven and the Mods for their effort.

Hi Steven and Paul,
Thank you for the effort put into organizing this, and for the great prize. I'm sure the winner will really get some good use out of this device that Paul has made.

Well done guys. :hooray: :tu: :aussie:

Bugger,just spent 10 minutes writing a reply and then went to preview it and it timed out,then lost it, I aint going to write anything again tonight as the website is very slow again.
Is anybody else having the same trouble.
Will reply to all the PM`s and the comments when I get time and the website settles down again. :lost: :lost:
