Thread: The Road Graders

G'Day Col,
Wow that's come up a treat from when I saw it on your bench, well done.
The little blokes looks very happy with the new toy.
QUESTION....
When are you going to finish the big boys grader.....LOL.
Cheers, crowie

PS - Keep up the good work at the Mens Shed with the Christmas Toys....

Thanks Pete I'm getting there mate I go into my back shed and the day just goes I often look at what I have done and think how much Telstra was disappointed in me after 40 years of working for them

Great looking grader and on happy chappy. Good to see them taking an interest in the shed, even though you have to keep an eye on them.


Tired yes was it worth it definitely,

Great picture Col thanks for sharing with us. I know when my boys are out in the shop with me I sometimes don't get as much work done as I would like but I would much rather have them out there with me!

Bret

G'day Col,
With 2 grandsons around for most of yesterday and again today.....YES, not much done and YES very tired.
Love the photo, priceless.
Hey Col,
Who was ribbing who about all the Norm marshall Model T Fords they'd made???
I see 4 in the background of your photo.
Cheers crowie

For those that can remember here are some more pictures of the road grader if you have followed any of my posts you may know that I have been having a larger shed being constructed and have also made some cars and trucks for my men’s shed along with a quick road grader for the youngest grandson to get him off my case for a while.
.
There are other personal issues that have been going on in the back ground that some of my friends may know about! But there just life issues that we all deal with from time to time and all is ok there.
Not much has changed I am still going forward with the grader and will not embarrass myself by forecasting a completion date. But any suggestions on a retarding agent for adhesive longer than four to six weeks would be appreciated stay safe and have a happy and merry Christmas and may your spell check never embarrass you. LOL

G'Day Col,
All things considered you've done well, you made it back in the OLD SHED and have done some more on the grader.
Cheers, crowie

G'day Col, somehow managed to miss this one!

Excellent stuphph!

Love the photos of the little bloke. He is totally entranced.

Hey Col who was the fitter on that right front tyre.

PS Grader looks good. Spent the odd day or a lot on graders

Thanks Artme Pete and Prime Mover it’s nice to get positive feedback from you all
Colbra

In regards to Prime Movers question to who did the work.
Phil I must own up to things and tell you it was Julia in 1995 when she worked for Slater & Gordon. Please don’t tell the federal opposition LOL :

First off not the sharpest tool in the shed! did not spot it till today Thanks Phil they were not glued so put into it's right spot on the other left back side of the grader
Well done Phil I hope my humour was ok Col

Fantastic stuff you make. I wish I could do that. My grandson is now four and a half, and also very interested in anything I make. Are you making the road graders with a plan or do you use photo's of the real graders?
