Thread: Mens sheds

Sounds as if your chaps got a good haul of useable timber/material.

Greenies are great Mate. They should be used to fertilise the forests, so everyone has a renewable resource to work with in the long term.

I have no idea what they will do with all of that timber , but hey , its there !.
I just want to get my boat finished .

Ha Ha.

There is no such thing as "too much timber", or anything else for that matter.

It is "STUFF", that will come in handy "ONE DAY". That is why men have sheds full of useful off cuts, waiting for the right job.

Use a few pieces on your boat. ????

Paul.

No Paul , I don't think I need any more wood for the boat , maybe if a can't find the mast partners , I'll have to do them again , but that is only a foot or so.
But anyway , they have tools , they have wood , time to get in to it !.
My boat really only needs to have the hardwear set up , and painted.
I just need to pick up where I left off.

Hi Rob.

Put up a pic of your boat project, so I know what you are talking about.

Paul.

The boat is a PDR , here is a photo in the shed.
All of the boxes have since gone over to Perth , all 24 of them .
I was thinking of sending the boat over too , for my son to finish , but that would probably never happen.
So , I need to finish it , and get it over to Perth.
Regards Rob J.

Yes Rob.

You do need to finish it.
You have already done the hardest bit.
It would be a shame if you did not launch your new "ship" yourself.

Paul.

The mast I've built , its hollow , and the boom.
The daggerboard and the rudder .
I have the sail , its just getting it all together , finished and painted.

Sounds like a good project for the men's shed, if they agree to help.

Don't forget to drop a few $$$ in their donation tin. It all helps the shed.

Lots of blokes, like me, enjoy painting, so you should not have too much trouble getting some help.
