    A few, pasta, minestrone, and Campari Spritz

    I traveled in Italy two years ago. Had a wonderful time, but I have forgotten most of what I learnt.

    Ciao

    Thumbs up

    Bon Giorno Gio,

    That's a well made and solid little bench.

    Molto bene.

    What part of Italy are you from? SWMBO and I travelled through some of Italy last year and loved it. Want to go back for a second dig.

    Hi artme,

    thanks for your comment.

    Wow ... what a nice surprice. So many aussie (hope this is correct to refer to australian people. Isn't it?) with interest and love for Italy.

    I stay near to Torino in the north-west part of Italy, quite near to the French border.

    What part of Italy have you visited so far?

    Ciao & buon fine settimana (have a nice week end),
    Gio

    Hi All,

    I have completed the finishing of the workbench by using beeswax. I'm really happy with the result, it was funny to build this small table.
    Here the pics:

    Of course I have also tried to locate the grinder on top of the bench and I think is not bad, here how it looks like:

    Thanks to everyone for suggestions, viewing and comments.

    Cheers, Gio

    A lot of Italians have come to live in Australia. Some came as prisoners of war during World War II, and liked how they were treated("Hey, Guiseppe, you carry this rifle.") that they came back after the war. Bob (Roberto) and Nancy (Annanciatina I think) Lamberti lived next door (farm) to us, they had a lot.of Italian friends including the Dellas. Lygon St Melbourne is "Little Italy," lots of Italian restraurants there. And as in Itally, the Greeks aren't far away

    Some of my favourite books were written by Colleen McCullough, covering the period from Gaius Maris to Gaius Julius Caesar Dictator - the end of the republic.

    Hi Johncs,

    nice to read about this, really interesting.
    Well, if I'm going to visit Australia in the future I have not to scare about communication & food since so many italian are there ...

    But, if really happen to visit your great country I will be curious to move around and to try your local delicatessen; perhaps a kangaroo or crocodile steak (do you really have similar steaks or we just see these in the movies?).

    Cheers, Gio
