My Maker's Mark
G'day again.
My hand made Maker's Mark (a la Don's) have finally arrived from the UK. I'm rapt.
I pinned one to a piece of raw Mountain Tea Tree to see how it looked.
Must go up to the snow line Thursday and tack one to the King Billy letterbox I made for my brother (which hasn't been pinched or vandalised amazingly).If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

Looks good Mike. I don't like marking my work with my name. I don't want anybody to know I made it.

Put your youngest childs name on anything you make. By the time he (or she) grows up and inherets the tools from your dead hands it might be worth something. Beauty is in the eye of the maker ... IMHO. Originally Posted by apricotripper
