Crowie you know it takes a real friend to point out when you've made such a blunder.
But I'm sure with time both Handy and I will be able to recover!
I'm really enjoying this build the crane is (to use my 70's terminology) Totally Way!
Cheers Mate.

Now I'm really in trouble!!!
Now I'm really in trouble, thank you Bret....
The authorities will be on to me too quick for having a little blue man from Texas working here on the Blue Mountains in Australia ....
He doesn't have a visa, a work permit or even a valid passport and I've had him here, working his tail off helping me make toys....
If I don't hurry up and finish this project both of us could be up the creek without a paddle.....
QUICK, HAS SOME GOT SOME ADVICE FOR ME, how do I hide a little blue man when he's into everything..... ....

Talking about having fun, well today...
Talking about having fun, well today has been difficult but shed time is always enjoyable even with lots of breaks...
Ive taken up the suggestion of a few of you to do a windscreen surrounds to highlight the area...
If it wasn't a big enough challenge cutting the 1.5mm thick timber, I had to do it twice as the first lot was way too wide...
And yes gents, it doesn't look too bad, thank you...
The next lot of today's tasks were to finish making the mast base parts and do a mockup installation...
I did change the dowel to 5/16" to allow for little boys and then had to modify the rest of the parts...
We are progressing and handy is quite pleased with my efforts today.
Cheers, crowie
