    Default My fine furniture

    Hi all
    Here is my latest offerings in how not too.
    First is a cupboard I converted, bless you my son..........
    Second is also a cupboard I converted ( insert previous joke here )
    Third is to see how much it hurt.YOWHHHHHHHHHHHHH, dont try this at home.
    Forth is the view from the front door of the Craporium.
    Notice my missus starkers in the window, trying to attract customers.

    Thank you very much.

    Al you old perv, I see your missus near the door (both of them), but I think all the nude people hanging from the roof are a bit much.

    Al,

    You obviously take advertising seriously - do you employ an advertising executive or do you do it yourself?

    I can't wait for the radio and television ads (they will have to be on late I suppose)

    Ben, only one is his missus, the other is Alana herself.

    Al,

    I'm curious... how does one cut off a finger without a trace of blood? It's got me stumped! :confused: :confused:
    How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

    Dean,

    Al freezes his hand prior to cutting off his fingers, it stops the blood from splattering plus it makes it easier for the micro surgeons. Al lives not far from an arterial road so the ambulance trip doesn’t take very long. It's a neat trick to play at parties.

    When Al was first developing the trick he used a tourniquet prior to cutting off his fingers in a vein attempt to stem the blood flow. This method was abandoned because it gave him pins and needles in his fingers which was uncomfortable as you can imagine.

    Does a cold shower fix a brown nose?

    Yesterday I had the privelige of visiting Al's fine establishment and I carefully studied his work. It is definately his best work so far.

    I can honestly say that I have never seen any place seen like the Craporium. It seems small from the outside but as you enter it seems to open up into various sections and as you walk through it you finally end up outside at the back not knowing how to get out. Clever strategy Al

    The items for sale reminded me of all the various things we have owned over the years from old records, furniture, bikes, wheelbarrows, plumbing fittings, old gal iron sheets and timber. It was an eye opener and a time capsule.

    Al was nowhere in sight ( alledgedly buying more stock but I am sure secretly gone to his workshop ) and Mrs Ozwinner was in charge and having been in the window must have helped for there were many customers.

    Peter.

    Hi Peter

    Yes, sorry to have missed you, but I was out working, if you can call spending money at an auction, working.
    Ive never had a job with so much fun involved, its almost immoral.
    I hope to catch you next time around, BTW, I hear you bought a plane, sounds like your on the slippery slope. :eek:

    Yes, a plane to add to my growing collection which I am still restoring. This one I want to convert into a scraper plane. Also a glue pot for using hide glue, I must be further down that slope than I realised. :eek:

    BTW Mrs Ozwinner remembered me from that time when I attended the Sandfest festival, amazing memory as she also remembered my board name.

    Peter.
