Not for me, folks.
Someone else had planks machined for a previous project and apparently it worked pretty well. The place that did it is no longer, but he'd heard of the other name (or similar), hence the post.

I think Cool Runnings was originally owned by a brother and sister in Melbourne who had had it for many years before having it restored and then putting it up for sale.

Sorry Brian. You're not getting much of a run! We'll get there eventually.

Paul, it seems to have lost momentum as well. We will have to ramp it up again.
