Thread: Hey Girls

Yep

Each night I go out and put another coat of wipe on poly on my workbench top. Each morning I go out and look at it for a couple of minutes..

How are you settling in Toni?

Cheers
Wendy

Three weeks till the next wedding, (eldest and last to go! yahooo!) you think there's time to do anything else??


P (having only lived with girls, I think I qualify for this forum!)

Partner with MS and very little time or energy to do the things I want at the moment . I'm not gone just up to my ears in alligators and trying to drain the swamp . I check in whenever I can for a nice break to see what others are doing.

We'll be back with more and hopefully better from time to time.

Well... since it keeps raining around here every time I try to make my way out there to say gidday its a drama of getting warm clothes on finding the raincoat and wellies then the mad dash which with me bung knee means a slow drippin wet meander then its drip drip drip in the cold shed... sorta disheartening... mmm must make sure I get a heater in me next shed along with power of course

Only thing Ive done lately was a bunch of welding havent touched the woodworkin stuff for some weeks now which means Im going through some serious withdrawls!!!

So whacha been up to Toni?

Hi Toni, I see you havent changed your location to Townsville, is part of you still in Winton?

I havent been in the workshop for a while, have only had one day off work in last 2 1/2 weeks and then we had visitors. Itching to get back to the wood pile, although it will be to work on the house. Hubby has been out cutting logs for the veranda, so I guess we have some cementing coming up.

Wendy is there a pic on here somewhere of your new workbench?

Donna

Alligators ! Egads!!!!!

Poor Midge! How many times have you tried to hide away in your workshop unsuccessfully

Wot's rain Dingo

Hi Donna, It's nearly ready for a photo

cheers

Hi everyone

I've finished the black forest clock, ( I hope the mods don't mind me posting the same pic in 2 threads)
I'm now making another one out of real wood and slightly larger

finished off 3 trinket boxes ( will post photos soon)

also made an oval basket, a nested bowl, and a golfing plaque, sounds like a lot but they're all small quick projects to cut, all now need to be glued and finished.

That clock is amazing Spring. Did it take a while? Looking forward to your photos.


Coat number four went on the workbench top yesterday. It's starting to get a sheen and some deepening lustre action happening. Tonight I will sand lightly with 800 and put on another coat. I think 8 coats should be enough.

Cheers
Wendy

just lurking.
don't forget the place mats for the bench !

What I have been up to. Driving 7 kids to school pick up 7 kids to school do mum messages and then bookkeeping for dad's business so much not time for me at all. Hoping to figure out a way that I can get some time for me. However tonight I got a pen done felt great

Thanks Wendy, I didn't keep a precise record when I made the clock, I did a bit here and there over about a month, but there's really only a few days work in it if you worked at it all day.I'm keeping better records with the one I'm doing now.

Here are the trinket boxes, photos of the bowl, basket and plaque are in the scrollers forum.

wow that is beautiful indeed
Toni

Thanks Toni
