Long time, no booms....
It has been over two months since my last posting. Boomerangs have taken a back seat to other things in my life. I haven't thrown a boomerang since the Houston Shootout in October and haven't really made anything either. The good news is I made a trip to a new plastic supplier in the area and landed some pieces of 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch thick polypro and polycarb. The thicker stuff should make some nice Aussie Round boomerangs. Other good things were finding decent bandsaw blades that fit my saw, at a reasonable price (I got it ebay...), and getting a new jigsaw at the Black and Decker clearance center for $19. My old saw was quite old and I couldn't get the correct blades for it anymore. The new one takes both u-shank and t-shank blades. This will make it easier to get specialty blades for cutting G10 and Carbon.
Update on Ian's project: it doesn't fade away. Ian and I were asked to go back to Sacred Heart School and do a boomerang class for them. Both of us said yes. All we need to do is schedule the date. In addition, Ian will be written up in my company's quarterly newsletter. Since I met Ian through work, and the email buddy program, they want to recognise his achievements.
