    I still have a lot to do on it. I will post more photo's as I go.
    Slowly coming together.

    Thanks artme,

    The ladder took sometime to do . The hardness thing was seeing the measurements
    and drilling holes in the right spot. A lot of the time making the toys for grandson was just guesting a lot of the time. I couldn't see, especially with the bright lights. It was hard for me to see what was doing most of the time. I have cataracts in both eyes so it will great when I have my operations next month.

    Cheers Graham.

    Hi Diggerdelaney,

    Thanks, I've had both cataracts done now just waiting on the Specialist to tell me
    when I can do woodwork again. I think its about 3 to 4 weeks, I find out next week.
    I hate it when I can't do my woodwork. But its nice that everything is brighter and
    I see things better and do finer work. I should have know trouble finishing off the fire truck. Painting fine lines is a breeze now.


    Cheers Graham.

    Glad everything is looking good. If you are like me I get quite fidgety if I can't get my daily dose of woodwork even if it is only 5 minutes
