    Default A great thanks to my shed ELVES

    I want to say thanks to two great mates. Blokes I met through this forum and today went out of their way behind my back with the help of my lovely wife Sue. They schemed, plotted and planning to surprise me.



    Pat and Fletty while we were on our way to the Sydney GtG at Nz-carvers came in and built and assembled my new work area around my lathe.

    This consists of a frame with shelves and a peg back board thanks guys I owe you both BIG time.

    Great stuff Ray, we better not make too many fairy jokes since they are such good hearted fairies. We won't mention the tutu and nail pouch clad crew (mind wanders back to Gus Mercurio sitting on the roof) breaking into your workshop Fantastic job fairies

    "If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    True Harry but late yesterday Pixies or even Elves just didn't come to mind, even Goblins would suit these two better knowing thats what they do to Sue's cake etc.

    Hi Mods if possible can you change the title and word Fairies to Elves please??

    Fairies wear boots - Black Sabbath

    It was a pleasure to help with my fellow fairy and the other co conspirator.

    It was done without thought of reward as the sense of community by being a member of this board and helping fellow members is reward enough.
