Okay, okay there's nothing here to see now, so please close this thread. :D

A great job Greg, one to be immensely proud of :brava: . Now if your son doesn't show any interest when the time is...

#66.

Shot 2 looks like a face.

Are they so you tip the behemoth on it's side and push it around the garage?

:D

It's a bit like over here. SWMBO writes on the cling wrap now, "KITCHEN ONLY - NOT FOR SHED!"

I'm always floggin' the stuff for glue-ups, I've gotta buy some tomorrow.

What's the pink plastic thing, surely not a shower cap? :o

Beaudy mate. :2tsup:

The one question remains Groggy. Have you used your bench in anger yet? :U

Well that works out to be 222.25mm But then my measurement was put the tape to it, yep that looks like... so maybe I actually measured 222.25 :shrug:

I've got a 3/4" auger bit here with 220mm depth of cut. :think: mixing imperial with metric, is that allowed?

I've got one sitting in the drawer, been used a few times in it's long life. Can't read the price tag on it anymore, so I'm not sure if it's cheaper to buy or borrow, but if you're over this side at...

Up there for thinking. :2tsup:

The fox took the chooks this week. :doh:

Just send Sally inside at meal times to collect your grub for you so you don't have to come out of the shed.

It might just work. :D

Soon enough you'll be done and dusted, then you look, ponder and lean and think, "what the heck do I do now?"

:2tsup:

Yep, very shmick indeed. :2tsup: :bowdown:

:2tsup: Just make sure you've got enough strength left as you're lying in the hospital bed, "... and remember son, I left my bench etc. ..."

Groggy. :2tsup:

I have a proposition, if your son shows no interest in woodwork, I would put my hand up to be included in your inheritance as the recipient of the bench.

It's the very least I...

:no: It's been beudyful, just like back home in Brisbane, it's been between 75% to 95% all day. Absolutely glorious. :2tsup:

Just glad I've had no timber movement - but then I'm not making...

Send in the ferrets!

Hope you don't mind Groggy. I just found this (after looking at all the emails from FWW that I hadn't opened) that they have a series of videos on
Build a Hybrid Roubo Workbench

Which might help...

Hit 'em with the old Peebo. :2tsup:

You sure the rain wasn't just slober on your knee? :D

Looking smick. :2tsup:

I would have drunk a big beer after you two finished making girly noises earlier today lifting the thing, 'cause by reading what you have to get done before you have another big drink you could be in...

:rotfl: :2tsup:

A bench with two sets of legs :cool: I suppose it gives you a choice when you don't know if you're Arthur or Martha. :D

Mr Sheen, Mr Sheen... :D

Can you pull a rabbit from under your hat? :D

If there is any land subsidence they'll be knocking at Mr Groggy's place. :police: (damnit my smilie doesn't exist - like a lot of my dreams really :doh2: )

That bench works very well sir. :U Maybe I need to finish the thing so I can have my bench assembly table back :doh: But then I'd only build something else on top of it. :doh2:

Glad I'm not the only one that uses clamps ten times bigger than needed. At least in this case you had something of substantial weight to stop the thing falling over or off due to the weight of the...

Same goes for waiting for my Maloof oil finish to dry between coats. :console:

Damn. :kickcan:

And grab his a/compressor for me too, he hasn't paid his Waldo Air Compressor Super Tax yet.

A YouTube video of some bloke with things on his noggin sanding wood. :doh:

When does the video come out with you drinking some red as you sing sweet dulcet tunes? :D

Nah, besides you'd have to take the steering wheels off first.

So if Melbourne slides into a big sinkhole it's because of your bench :U

I should but it's cold out there and I've just shut the shed up.

I did put down a second sealing coat of 1/2 turps and 1/2 poly on the floating top for the b/case thingy whatsit today. :q (took...

Is the frypan on your bench there for the times you get kicked out and have to rough it and have to fend for yourself?

I hope Sally's cans are out of reach. :D

But you wouldn't have to insure the bench as it would survive any crash. :2tsup:

You sure they weren't ripped out of a hotrod? They look like billeted aluminium steering wheels to me.

Whack some go-fast stripes down the bench and it should go like the clappers. :2tsup:

I'd reckon though if any deviation was less than a bees :whistling: that some 10mm dominoes whacked in and some sticky stuff would do the job.

I've did the same thing when jointing the 1700 x 300...

Ohh yeah... that could work. :2tsup: Have to done a dry clamp to see how they mate?

Whatdayadunnow? :shakehead: Show us some pics.

There's plenty of satisfaction to be had in firing up the Thicky and turning rough sawn timber (or similar in your case) and seeing it come out as nice smooth stuff that you just have to caress it....

You're only a few days into what is gonna be 20 years of patching before you finish your bench? Sheesh.

I'll be finished my b/case hutch slash thingo in no time then. :2tsup:

That sounds about like a handicap. :doh:

So long as you are up to your eyeballs with it until Thursday we'll be on par. :U

Oi! Slow down, you've been lucky and have done 100% more than I've been able to get done this week. :shakehead:

A whole arvo (I'm guessing) pulling nails :woot: ... :no:

Groggy :shakehead: you should have set the kids to do the menial stuff - that's what they get older for, at least that's how I served my...
