Thats a cracker. Let me know if you want some shock cord or webbing for the strap. I have miles of both and am happy to post.  :cheers:

Put a new chain on my little Poulan 18" chainsaw and gave it a quick service, been sitting for 2 years or so but started easily.
   Picked up a freebie home made saw bench off gumtree and put a nice new Irwin 9 1/4 " 20T blade on it , should have done this months ago but then 3 months laid up means nothing got done when it should have been.

Nah, mate... It's for when I take the boys down for a bit of beach fishing.  One less thing I have to carry in my hands...  :D

Hasn't got a strap yet... Might end up putting two on so I can wear it like a backpack...

Just finished making a new fridge slide to suit the 60L I bought. Just have to bolt it to the false floor in the morning and she's ready to roll. It cost me $190 for all materials. The heavy duty 227kg slides were the dearest part at $135 for the pair. Still lots cheaper than a bought one of this size. Sorry for the crappy night time phone pic.

Replaced the uni's on the rear tailshaft of the 105, one less vibration. Then stripped out the plates on the floor in the cargo area that hold in 3rd row of seats preparing to put the new draws and half cargo barrier in on the weekend.

So not my shed but the old mans. Put the drawers, cargo barrier  and fridge slide in today. Will be good to get stuff sorted properly now. Oh and get another fridge to suit the size fridge slide (that's how you do it isn't it rather than buy a new slide to suit the current fridge? )

finished the yabby pump carrier:






thanks to all for their suggestions... :)

just need to work out a way to stop the pump from falling out the top.  don't really want a full-on cap on there, but am thinking about using a couple of stretch loops?:




thoughts?

What about a sideways & small up cut from the down cut for the handle & a bit of foam in the base for upward pressure.
Looks good.

I put together the world's simplest solar panel, battery, charger, lighting system. It's small 10W panel (I added a charger/regulator on the back) , 7AH battery, 3 way cigarette lighter and 2 USB outlet  charger gizmo for distribution and LED worklight. 

This is really for my small dinghy to power lights, depth sounder, and radio. A scaled up version is needed for my CT when it arrives
