An oldie but a goldie. I now have another job lined up, namely the 10 gallon bucket of old bits I inherited off of the old man when he decided to go live on his boat.

Cheers

Beautiful work once again Ray.

Just been to the Norse Woodsmith and taken a look at his idea's, after being inspired by Ray. What a fantastic project. Olive wood should take the punishment of regular use but for the nice figure...

There is a Perth in Florida??? Thats ok, I can wait for the Sheok one to arrive :D

'04 Piano Gully Cab Sav Merlot. Took out a dozen empties to the garbo yesterday morning.

Alrighty, as soon as they are cut I will paint them. Now should I paint everywhere wood has touched blade? Or just across the (end) grain?

Wow! Nice turning. Just started?? Your a natural. I have been turning (the lathe on :) ) since October and so far I have a lot of splinters, sawdust and a hell itchy throat.

Those goblets -...

Geez, I was pretty hasty huh... yah, meant 150mm and so on... :)

Merry Christmas forums :)

This morning I woke up to a brand new pile of 2-3m logs sitting on my drive, courtesy of my dad. There are some lengths of olive, banksia, jarrah, wandoo and blackbutt. ...

Mitsubishi Triton or Toyota Hilux? Looking at the dual cab 4x4's. 2002 / 2003 models. Cant really justify banging the crap out of a new one just yet, and I cant afford a Defender or...

Hey Big O,

I got the plans for $11. Not much better than the dial before you dig ones. They show that the connecting sewer runs into the mains. But there are no measurements from boundaries,...

Well, I have found the bottom of all that "lovely Perth sand." Now into a nice white bed of limestone and cap rock. At least I know I dont have to dig through that...

Alrighty. Im digging already. :)

Because of where the plans say the pipe is and as the electrickery needs to run the same way, I have a trench a meter wide by almost two meters deep already. ...

You're joking right? :)

Cheers.

Hey crew

Im digging up the back yard in an attempt to a) find sewer and b) lay power cable to my new workshop.
