    Default A bit of history

    When I decided that no piece of timber should be safe from my attempts to make things, I went down to Delta recovery in Port Melbourne. While there, a young stripling youth asked me to make him a table. I said OK, already panicking at the thought. Then he took me out to their yard and showed me a pile of boards which had been the seats in the now gone Southern Stand at the MCG. This was too much to resist. So he gave me sufficient boards for the production and I went on my way. I should mention that there was a reasonable size snake skin attached to the boards as well. Oh and he also wanted the boards to be in numeric order (of the seat numbers). So this is it. It is a classic piece of history for those who like memorabilia.

    Regards,

    Rob

    I have to say that I got a chuckle on this one.
