Brian's Project, can you work-out what it is?

















Brian has a project where he is using Forest Red Gum (Eucalyptus tereticcornis) and Huon Pine (Dacrydium franklinii). He is cutting them into 10mm strips, they will be glued and clamped then put through the thickness machine to 9mm. We will show you more pic's as the project moves along. You can see that 1 of our members has been to Bali, not bad cold on a Hot Day.
Can you work out what it will be ?
I know.

Why the BIG SMILE on Alan?


I was looking at some Pic's I had on File and had a close look at this one. I noticed the Big smile on Alan's face. On thinking about this, I realised that Alan had spent that much time on doing up the Old trailer to look like this, He was so very Happy to see it go.
Here He makes sure John Roberts connects it up safely.

Paul Guillagme reproduction













When I got the 'phone call, Daaad I need help, the same sort of call I get from both my daughters every now and then, I knew I was in trouble. You see Kimberley, the mother of 2 of my Grandsons, is a BA FA Hons Dip ED and she comes up with some good-ones. This time it is a reproduction canvas she purchased on EBay from Switzerland. So off the local hardware with her for timber for the stretcher, then to KMS to cut, chamfer, mitre joints, glue and sanding, then it's to work with the staple gun. I just love doing this with her, you see I did this for 4 years while she worked on her Degree with the rough tools I had at home, now I do it at the SHED and have her pose while I take the Pic's.

When a Blog is not a Blog


I must apologise to all those who have been following the Blog updates. You see this SOB

So after a few choice words, I decided to give you all an explanation, so there it is. So sorry, John.
