New Workshop WIP, needs a little work.

[Claw Hama]

Ah well now that I will be living and working at the workshop I will be able to knock up a
quick batch of Anzacs at short notice. Too easy. I keep getting temped at the mini mill but too many other things I need at the moment. Like a shipping container

Dad "ya can't cook anzacs in th microwave!'

[Claw Hama]

Of course you can't but you can on the barbie

GTG at Craw's - barbi's hot

actually was going to say "if you need a hand I could wander up, Thursdays are probably best"

[Claw Hama]

Thank you for the kind woody offer Nick but I think I have a good size little crew lined up. My Dad, my two boys a good mate who thought he was retired, we'll see about that

Retirement; A source of cheap labour. Sometimes used for manual repeative task.

Mark he could always make the ANZACS and man the BBQ tea n coffee stand.

He's used to wearing an apron

I see that history repeats itself, right Sawdust Marker.

So a couple of shots of some of the haul, 3.6m sheets of mdf that will become shelves and partitions etc, 2 large wheely trolly things that will be rebuilt to suit my purposes, 3 benches (only one shown buried under timber and steel) a heap of Bass wood timber slats that will become wall clading I think. 12 gallon drums that will be garbage bins or saw horses etc, quite a bit of steel (25mm square, angle) a lot of assorted timber that will become battens on the wall to mount shadow boards etc. Several loads of framing timber, just had to knock out some nails. A nice big whiteboard. Lots of stuff hasn't made it into the photos yet, also picked up a small pine desk that will go in the workshop for my office. Boxes of brackets and other misc stuff. Also started the security bars for the two spots where they were missing. Alarm system has been designed and decided apon, includes bace to base secuity and fire monitoring. Not many sleeps now.

Oh and may be acquiring a metal lathe too, even more fun at the new ranch

Metal lathe.


Lets see what do I need?



Let me get back to you.

[Claw Hama]

Best we wait till it turns up and see how much I remember, more than a few years since I used one. Once you start it all comes back to you though. Same as the wood lathe did.

[wheelinround]

Mark no rest for the wicked is there, its exciting to see all this taking place wish i could just jump in the auto drive up and get stuck in and help.


Well you'll need the mill to but maybe a bigger one depending on the lathe size so I guess there'll be a tool room, wood room, metal room, carving area.

Oh don't forget a finishing area.

Thoughts of you carving with a chainsaw out the back with those lovely apparements nice and close 6am wake up call

[Claw Hama]

Hmm yeh, may have to sharpen up the electric chain saw Its when I test my home reloads for the 222 and 6.5mm might wake them up
All the security bars are made and painted and ready to install. The shyte pipe workers are getting closer by the day, hopefully we should get the go ahead tomorrow and I can get all this stuff out of here before I get snookered. Just spent the last hour pulling nails out of that trailer load of pine. Talk about twitchy, edgy, feel like a gun slinger ready to draw

[Sawdust Maker]

I hereby dub the new workshop - "The OK Corral" or maybe "Glenrowan"
