This might have saved a bit of work.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Second-hand-trampoline-3m-x-2-1m-x-0-8m/184624556876?hash=item2afc7b2b4c%3Ag%3Am6UAAOSw%7EgpgA57F&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Freight would hurt though....

haha yeah, that was my first thought. But I stretched the shade cloth pretty tight. The nuts get a bit of a bounce, and shoot off about 1M. And the ones that hit near the edge roll over anyway. Could have been a bit bigger, but that was all the steel I had on hand. Keeps most of them on the right side of the fence.  ;D

Finished what could be my last horse restoration. Although I did say that about the one before, just struggle to say no when the family cannot find someone to bring them back to life.

This is a Roebuck which dates from between 1959 & 1972 when the closed down. The stand wasn't original although the top rail & hoof rails were. The new posts don't match what they would have looked like. My excuse is I didn't have a pattern & this is the pattern I use for ones I make from scratch.

They were also dressed with plastic, no leather was used as they were trying to compete with the Japanese toy market.

Thanks Pottsy. So much for no more. There is another on it's way.

I am also about to try to make some trucks etc for the grandies. Not sure how I will go with the finer stuff. I normally work to the nearest 6 mm  ;D

Cleared everything out of the shed/garage and had a garage sale on the weekend. Sold the pavers and retaining wall from around the shed. Even sold the shed!

In a weeks time a new and improved shed/garage/entertainment building will be built.  :cheers:

The 80 got it's 495000km service.
Oil + Filter, check all the other fluids before the big one at 500K. Rego next week, 30 years she's never failed.
Finely got around to putting a factory right hand side battery holder in her. :)

Rodeo, got it's 200000km service, oils, fluids, filters. She goes in next week for a mechanic to check all the other requirements needed for the 200K service.

Time for a few beers now and some tunes.
