Nice job so far! Keep up the narrative & pics please.

Cheers!

forgiven.

The lady will put the matter right on her next sewing session

Another day in paradise. Blue skies forecast for some days but freezing nights, that would keep ozwinner happy.

All the slots and slider bars have been prepared except four slots have been plugged and will be recut again tomorrow. Trying to cut too many vertical posts for the slots at one time has caused some movement or misalignment.

Pictures show boxes in position on vertical posts and bench pictures shows errors and the replugging method.





The sliding bars were very easy to produce this time compared to the box made earlier in the year. I purchased a belt and disk sander with some credit that was available on a recent transaction with Record Power. I just had to hold down the bars on the belt and wear off any excess timber to get the bars to slide in the drawer rebates. The process can be a little painful on tender fingers if you slip and touch the moving belt. Quite handy though for quick manicures if needed.

Janet & I had been due to fly out of London to Perth, W.A. this morning but owing to the entretemps back last summer the travel insurance company would not give me any health cover but offered a full refund of holiday booking expenses already made at that time. This was the second time (first time the 1950’s) that I have failed to get to Perth. However one of these days I am going to try again but through the back door might be the way to try.

Sorry to report, we went walkies today. The temperature in the W/S was so cold that my fingers would have stuck to the cast iron table top if I had touched it. Forecast for tonight is also listed as minus.

Nice snuggle weather.

It's still bl***y cold up here, in fact so cold on the afternoon walkies it made my eyes water, something I suppose that never happens to 90% of Australians. Unless they are watching their cricket team playing these days.

Started getting withdrawal symptoms so I set up a bench in the warmth of the kitchen and started to mark out the next set of joints, ( halving joints). There are 12 joints with a mate making 24 in all. I suceeded in getting those marked up before tea and handed the kitchen back to the wife .

Pictures below show how comfortable it is doing the woodwork in the kitchen!

Project now being put on hold. The builders are coming in and you know what that means, I have got to watch what they are upto Normal service as they ay will restart ASAP.

Do these poor builders know what they are up against??

I feel for them, tell tham I said hello.

Al

Sucumbed to the workbug and completed the three lids which cover the boxes at the top of each column.




However the builders have cried off for the week which is no great hardship seeing I don't want any windows out with the present temperatures that are around at the moment.
So we went a walkabout again; the first picture shows the frost still lying around at 11.30am. The other pictures show that the area is not suitable for lady drivers. If Rocker should look in he will most probably put a title to each picture.
