    Need a base

    Hi gang, can anyone suggest a supplier of bases please? Looking for something for this one to be mounted on, wood or mdf. Thanks in advance.

          Mick, what size base would you need, I have a couple of unused/unwanted ones. MDF/Wood.

                Hi Mike, thanks for looking but it's too big. I have something that size. I really appreciate you taking the time though

                      Is a round base 4" diameter too small Mick?

                            Absolutely, well intentioned punts are why this place is so good, so carry on punting buddy, get that pole out. (did carry on ever make that one?)
