Thread: G'day from Maryborough Victoria

Hello everyone,

with the covid-19 situation i've been working through a list of 30 projects/jobs that need to be done.

a mobile kitchen island with room for the 2 plastic bins (dog food and cat food) is one of the jobs i'm doing, on Friday 1st May i ordered and had delivered 12 metres of 25mm tube steel, the bins will be on sliding trays that come out each end, and i thought a nice redgum butchers block would look good on top, with a slide out drawer just below (and over the bins).

i have some very old redgum posts stacked down the shed that i have been reluctant to chop up for firewood, and once i run then through the 10inch table saw i think they will make a nice end grain butchers block.

i like BIG dogs, hence the 20kg bins for dry dog food, which have been in the way in the kitchen for far too long now, my new pup is a wolfhound,staghound/deerhound, 6 months and about 30kg already.

i'm not new to woodworking, i attended Caulfield Technical School from 1980 to 1984, i occasionally worked with an older brother who was a chippy, and have lost count of the number of wood working projects i've done over the years, i was number 10 of 14 kids, so got a good all round educations in plumbing, building, electronics etc.

my first ever project was a chess board in grade 6 (1979), for which i was given a fancy (plastic) chess set for christmas, sadly minus the cardboard chess board, the pieces are just a bit too big for the board, so that's another project that is 40 years past time to get around too.

i found the forum looking for what glue to use on a cutting board.

regards
Amanda
