    Just another job off my endless “to do list”. The in-laws are very happy with it.

    Yeah! Not a bad effort.

    Well you have to justify your machines somehow. By the way a nice mix of timber colors. What timbers did you use?

    Very nice work, Wongo. Did you make a couple for yourself? They'd look good holding up some art pieces.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Well done Wongo. Do the inlaws own the local library? As was said above - good choice of timber colours.

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."

    I'll show this to SWMBO in the hope that she will agree, I've tried to convince her before but we have hundreds of books in boxes, which of course we can never find when we want them.

    Excellent as usual.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Wongo, It's always a good feeling to make something for someone else, and it looks a very useful and well made piece of furniture to me.

    G'day Scott! (or should I say "Great Scott!" - sorry! )

    Cracking job, as always

    You'll be up for "Scott, MC" (Master Craftsman) soon. Taking any apprentices on?

    Cheers!

    Default Nice work!

    Great use of timbers. SWMBO reckons books should be in a cupboard so i can't make shelves. Got hundreds of hardbacks in perfect condition. Pity i can't show 'em.
