Thread: Odd jobs, what next?

Moving shed too, Mark?

Not at this stage, this move is an intermeadiate move, the next one should be the one to a house with some more land and a nice big workshop for both me and Tack Hama, she needs one to do here ceramics in too so it will have to be big and divided. I like my loud music and saw dust etc.

Music...loud? Just got my disc player set up in the "soon to be finished shed"....happily listening to Bach, Chopin and other great composers and to vocals like Richard Tauber, Caruso et al, all at a little(?) louder than a moderate level.

Heself enters: "Turn that music down. I can't hear the radio/cd I'm listening to". End of enjoyable volume, now at a level that is drowned by the sound of a hand saw cutting!

Yep, hence the divided (and sound proofed) wall. At the moment 4kms from home it's not an issue.

Love that mirror. What happens to the centre panel in the wardrobe? Not going back in?

Hi Tony, sorry haven't done your handles yet, still trying to get to the lathe. Yes thought I had a photo of the finished product but must have missed it. All three panels now open up. The original door swings of the side panel the same as before. I put an extra hinge on the top of that panel to help take the weight. Happy customers yet again.
The mirror is very funky, camel skin and camel bone with encrusted jewels. THe whole centre, glass, frame etc had been torn out in transit. The lady who owns it is a writer and has been living in the desert for a year with the Bedouins. She also has two huge doors that I have to make a frame for so they can be used as a screen. 2.4m high, 1.5 wide, weigh a ton and will have to be free standing in the centre of a room. Hmm another brain teaser

Plenty of variety in your life Claw, and that is surely a good thing!!

Great rescue on the mirror!

Love that chest!!

Are you going to make a sound and air tight revolver for the divider? I am thinking that if you go this direction you may have to have more then one latch to disconnect the air lock.

And incorporate a secret emergency hatch so when you run out of Anzac biscuits you can quickly sneak in and grab some.

But personally if it was me I would just walk in the main door, say hi honey kiss her on the cheek, tell her that you are here to grab some Anzac's and kiss her on the cheek on the way out.

Sorry I got side tracked by my reply, great work as always Mark.

Your not married are you Christos
This is the desk/bench to go with the Cedar wardrobe. Aust Red Cedar, 3.6m long to be fastened to the walls. Also two book shelves to go on top at each end. Rounded bull nose edge to match the old robe.

Glad your not slacking while I am on R&R CH

Sorry, what does that mean? slacking? no comprehension of that sorry Ray.
A bugger we didn't catch up today. Next time.

Beaut to see the smaller stuff that firs in and around other stuff.

Hi Waldo, yes have another bunch of smaller infill jobs coming through, they are often faster and more fun than the bigger more labourious/ laborious? are you know what I mean
