Nice work again Pottsy.

I have been working on a couple of projects. One is a coopered bucket full of flowers made of various materials such as leather, steel, copper, fabric & wood. 5 people were involved. It will be on display at Wellcamp airport during Carnival of Flowers.

Now working on a rocking horse for a display in the museum for the same event. Thought I had until October to finish this project but the deadline is now end of this month so pressure is on.

Another interesting project Raym, Don’t you just love working to a deadline!
Customer who ordered the farm set wanted two more items, another truck with sides and a Steiger tractor.
Did them over the last two days, tractor off the cuff from this photo.

Horse is done & ready for delivery, now concentrating on a couple of restorations.

Hey Pottsy.

We went up to a Model Show at Ipswich last weekend, which had a variety of things on display, not just plastic models.

While we were looking at some buildings, Leafz said that you should have been there, with a selection on display!

What do you think, worth looking in to

& just for the sake of clicking some buttons

Thanks Fizzie, might stroll along and have a look, it’s close to home too, so that’s a bonus.

Yeah, $110 for a table, with 2-3 on it & a few spares, plus an album of your other work, should well & truly pay for itself!

Have fun!

I've been buying a few bits of opal from Coober Pedy . So this little pendant is the result, matching earrings to follow.

Installed Insulation, walls and ceiling on, personal screen and door on yesterday, decided on a wooden door rather than the metal one, heater in a couple of weeks ago.

Should be ready for paint next week with a bit of luck.

Very nice work space Baz.

Redback · « **Reply #6792 on:** September 24, 2022, 03:24:51 PM »

Thanks mate, the plan is to live in it while we renovate the house, then it will be a motorcycle/farm workshop on one side and brewery/bar/mens shed on the other.

Fizzie · « **Reply #6793 on:** September 25, 2022, 09:19:23 AM »

Start planning on replacing one, together with the fence behind it!

During the virtual mimi-cyclone we had on Thursday night (an East Coast Low spun up out of nowhere with howling winds & pouring rain), a branch came down from the neighbour's Silky Oak, & landed across our little garden shed & the fence behind it.

Punched a hole in the shed roof, bashed in part of the back wall, also cracked the fence's top cross-rail, & snapped one of it's posts off at ground level.

All up, the branch would have ~6m long & 100-150mm thick

So, looks like we're up for a new shed, as I doubt that can be repaired

, & we'd also want to reposition it, so that the same doesn't happen again

That section of fence will also need to be replaced, & those neighbours have said that they'll probably take the opportunity to do their whole back fence - that's not our problem though, only the 5m section we share in that corner.

Don't know if it's going to be worth putting in an insurance claim for it all?

#1 Roof
#2 Back wall
#3 The branch on our side - the brick is just there to give some scale!
#4 More of the branch over the fence
#5 The stump that it broke off from
#6 Just how high that is! The flagpole & grevillea in front of the silky oak are both ~5m tall, so something like 12-15m up

Bugger Fizzie, hit up the insurance if the excess isn’t restrictive.

Set up a 80w solar panel to charge the start battery when not using the 80.
I don't get to use the old girl as much as I would like.

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Fizzie · « **Reply #6796 on:** September 26, 2022, 08:41:23 AM »

So I decided to attack the bench in the main shed & clean it up!

Don't think it's looked like that since the day it went in!

Hairs · « **Reply #6797 on:** September 26, 2022, 05:58:58 PM »

Fizzie,
Give it a week, won't know you've cleaned it

Fizzie · « **Reply #6798 on:** September 27, 2022, 07:31:21 AM »

Mate, that's already happened from starting to sort out stuff ~~piled~~ dumped in the corner!

Now, while we're on the subject of sheds, spoke to the insurance company, & yes, the old shed is covered under "Impact"!

But ...

Apart from a quote for replacement, they need us to get a report from "a repairer" to say that it can't be repaired

Who do you even approach about possible repairs to a little, old, tin shed

Made some key fobs and fly swats for a small fundraiser…
