Pity about the stool I was making cracked as I would have loved to give it to Sam, oh well that's one I owe her for next time.

With the power of Photoshop - crack is repaired. Now it's up to Dave to complete the repair.

I didn't see the completed stool, ripper job Craig! !!! (And Bob with the cosmetic help.. if new 'TV week' can do it surely we can get away with it)

The front verandah is a perfect place to watch the sunrise and enjoy a caffeine fix to start the day

I'm not sure the treadle lathe was repaired. It may be all smoke and mirrors from OldGreyBeard.

A couple of photos taken by Dave with my camera - not his "phoney" thing

Can guarantee it - Dave even turned a piece of 'firewood' round - probably looking for the Best from the wood heap prize now.

You had better talk nicely to Uncle Al and Dirk Pittwater

I'll have to wait till I get back from my fishing comp this weekend to get all the pics off the camera then I'll see how I do in Photoshop. I'll let you know if I have trouble Bob. Thanks for everything you showed me, I should remember it all.
