Hi guys, I have a model with various static methods in such as add_author
select_author
select_author_list and so on... I however have a function that will need to bind a few together..
How would i go about this in Fuel? I am guessing i have to construct the model .. Whats Fuels method of this? Thanks,

What do you mean by "bind a few together"? Can you give an example (or write it out)?

Sure... function one - Inserts into a table then returns the insert id.
function two - Inserts into a different table then returns the insert id. function three - Calls function one, inserts data, gets the id and uses it to insert into function two. I would like to retain the functionality of function one, and two.. but not have to duplicate the insert methods for func 3.. Does this make a little more sense?..

Ok, so the question is "how do I call a static method in the current class"?

public static function three()
{
    // call the static method two() in the current class.
    $result = static::two();
}

Ahh ok, thank you for that dumb question.. I was focusing on actually trying to instantiate the model .. Totally the wrong way to look at it.. Thanks again..
