Thread: Handy's been giving me a real hard time lately as I've been painting for our daughter

I didn't listen to either of you as today I was moving furniture back into the house after the floor sanding finish had cured and am again sore, my fault ..

Anyways, we have managed to progress a little with the Jeep, very slow progress....

Cheers, Peter

The problem is most of us are not as young as we use to be and things like moving heavy objects takes it toll on our bodies so take it easy mate.

Progress on the build is coming along and looking good.

Handy has been carrying that piece of wood for ages when is he going to put it to use.

Peter, I know Handy can be mischievous at times, BUT I think he's been in my shed and misplaced a couple of gears, preventing me from finishing assembly of my drum sander.
Just as well he carries a saw and a piece of wood, if he carried a spanner, that could be a problem as he'd put a spanner in the works!!!!
Nice work on the Jeep by the way.

I can see it now Peter the knot is not in the same place on this board

I know what you mean about the moving stuff!!!
Today I finally got to bring the last of my tools into my new to me shop and they were all the BIG STUFF so had to hit the bed and let thing straighten back out.
Man it hurts to get old!!!
Great work on the jeep, love it when we get our wood working therapy.

Handy has drawn the short straw this afternoon....

He gets to watch the glue dry....

Thank goodness for "clamps on special" as I just had enough...

I've spent my spare time over the last few days cutting & grooving the wheels along with a few modifications.....

Cheers, Peter

You can never have enough clamps Peter. Looking good, I hope you left a brew kit for Handy to make a cuppa or even a cold beer

Just love wheels and the making of them, can really set of a model.

Peter,

If you need some help with someone who is "Handy" with a spanner I can send over one of Handy's nephews.

Thank you gents for the encouragement...

It's been a long tough week with the flu, the real one, NOT MAN FLU, and still not 100%....

Progress has been slow but I've enjoyed the shed time as and when I've been able...it takes you mind off one's woows...

Handy's again drawn the short straw to watch the glue dry, with all the extras I've added to the jeep...

Nearly finished.. Cheers, crowie

Looks great Peter can't be far before the finish going on.

Will you be making a trailer for it

G'day Derek, I won't be making the trailer for the Jeep...
Way too much fiddling around and not overly interested in the "gun" side of the original model which is why i don't add the "machine gun" to my jeep build.
