Thread: A new beauty for the Shed!

Mmmmmmmm . . . very nice result Steve. Wish I had one. Will it be a user, or will you put it in its box for posterity?

Greenie etc.

G'day Steve,

Strewth!

What a beaut looking plane it's turned out to be and it's got to be a user but a plane worthy of passing down the generations, so that one day a grandson will recount all very proudly how you put it together with your bare hands as sweat dripped off your brow.

Now now Waldo old pal, no Code following bloke would be sweating (especially in Melbourne at this time of year) over the forging of a new tool!

One must bear up and be, and be seen, as a bloke of stamina, grit and forbearance

Very nice Steve, what'da yer reckon its worth?

G'day Steve,

Your sounding like a whinging chappish Pom there, but bugger it you seem to have some sort of exclusion in The Code.

Can't sweat in Winter working in your shed? :confused: I've been doing something wrong then, but then a long sleeve shirt, two jumpers as you heave bits of plasterboard above you while working under Bunnies yellow lamp stand things get you sweating - sounds like I should be putting down a VB about now - I'll have a few after a client meeting tomorrow - that'll be worth celbrating.

Being a chap, what did you drink after you finished your plane, some sort of chappish drink with an umbrella?

Hi Harry,

What is it worth? I have no idea on a commercial basis, but to me it's worth heaps as I've put a fair bit of time, attention and care into it. What's more it works pretty darned well and is a really wonderful tool to hold and use. The surface on even 'difficult' wood is transformed. What is that worth?

Cheeky Blighter ! Nah Mate, a couple of Cascades whilst admiring the day's work and pondering the next project (still in the shed, of course!), then a quick sluice then a calming glass (or so!) of Shiraz

As to some sort of exemption from the Code, I have no such permissions from the Grand Templar and General Adjudicator, His Honour, The Driver (aka) Col.

G'day Steve,

Ah, thinking over a job well done then pondering over what to do next as you sink a Cascade - good to see the Code being upheld.
