Yes...I'm on the go again.............
Yep, off down the shed for about an hour today... here's what I've done....was going to go on with the next stage...but sander needed some TLC...had to glue a new Velcro base on....absolutely buggered the other...only takes me about 12months to ruin one...so now when its really buggered I actually sand the rubber Velcro off...and glue another one...but I can only do this twice, then have too order a new one....but still @ $55 each new plate.... and only $12 for Velcro...makes sense to do it....
Anyway....really busy...so hopefully will get into shed tomorrow afternoon for about an hour will get all the slots cut...picking up box of 1000 biscuits tomorrow from carba-tec....what a pleasure to work with some of my pack wood...doesn't take long to cut up 12 lengths....that's what’s there....not exactly happy with the amount of grey colour amount the pine...but it will still look lovely when I finish...
It's going to be a replica "Coolgardie Safe"....
Will be most of Friday running after woodworms....(kids) so that leaves Sat morning & Sunday to finish this baby....oh....and Sunday have to get all the lawns mowed & back patio cleaned up ....son informs me he's booked a dinner/BBQ party for here....next Wednesday....got to love them.....yep they all have their own homes but Mums is bigger has all the party stuff they need...plus the spa....mmm.... why would they have it at their own homes....LOL ....well... this time they will have to do the clean up before bed....as come next morning I leave at 6am for 5 day Easter celebrations for wedding in Busselton....that's what the unit is for....my girlfriends wedding present.....
anyways these unit pictures are going to be done quickly....hope you can see the stages ok....should be able to follow the plan too....hey...I don't write anything down...just do it as I go....was planning on this one being only about 75cm wide...but then when I was cutting it out seemed a pity to waste wood...so used the rest of what I had on the length...hence my friend is getting a double door...unit....
You would pay about $700-$900 for one of these, or more....lol....well lets face it they don't make this stuff anywhere....replica work...is just from the hobby woodworker....but hey that's why I love doing what I do!
Cheers everyone...more tomorrow....
