Great shots. If your woodworking is/was half as good as your photography, it would make you at least accomplished and that's on the "off" days :2tsup: .

Paul

You're too kind, thank you :B.

[wheelinround]

Well Bret I am stunned Pat didn't mention its his birthday today that alone would have meant cake.

None of you blokes have mention anything you scored, bought or swapped although I see in photo's tools in hand and Pat and Paul deep in discussion over a box?

No sign of wood pile.

No sign of anything fellows had made

Oh hang on Fletty did have an empty bottle of red in hand didn't he.

I took a could of my wooden toy trucks to show off and got some stick about models!!!!!!

Paul, aka "pacman" gave me a toymaking book which was much appreciated....

Oh - it's a great day for a birthday - Happy Birthday to you Pat.....Cheers, crowie

It wasn't empty yet!

I scored a sharpening sled, a Liogier 6pt rat tail rasp and 18 hanging bins with 3 matching wall plates.

Jeez, did you only buy stuff from me? You can definitely come again. Adam can come again too - it's not often (may never have happened) that he leaves here without some tools (paid for or not, mine or not). He doesn't come around nearly often enough though:D.

The number 6 rasp is a 9.

Btw, did you see that large grey bin that had the wire racks in it? It has a similar lip at the back, and I reckon you could hang that off the second bottom row of the wall plate for rags, rubbish, or whatever.

Maybe next time you need to report them to the moderators. :) I thought your toy trucks were great.

:U You'd be sure of a response too.

I saw Peter's trucks as I flashed past a number of times, and I couldn't get to them. Fortunately he's a true blue Blue Mountaineer and so not far away.

Lola told me (when it was too late) that they were terrific.

The moderators in this particular case would have been you and Lola as the Admin. :q

I'm a true blue, maroon blooded Queenslander who just happened to met a top girl whilst I was stationed in Sydney, married her and mosted to the Lower Blue Mountains were we could afford a house back in late 1979/1980......
Still I'd love to show off my handiwork to you Brett next time you're down this way; I'll even offer a drive back home up the hill.......
Cheers, crowie

PS - Now I'm really in for some stick.......

[NCArcher]

I thought they were great too Crowie.
There was much treasure to choose from on Sunday. Pat brought about half his shed along, Brett had a massive clean out and Pac Man produced a huge box of give aways.
I got a large leather chisel roll off Pat as well as a saw vice (which I forgot to pick up and Pat had to wrestle Ozhunter to rescue it for me :D Thanks Pat )
I also got some holt melt glue and a Rabone folding wooden rule (for miniarcher) from Brett and a freebie systainer which I haven't decided what I will use it for yet.
I'm still debating whether I need Adam's cutting gauge. I reckon he left it at Brett's just to tempt me. (Don't tell him but his plan is working:doh:) Although I'll need a discount now that the box got wet :;

[Pac man]

My apologies go to you NCA. I get really distracted and cant finish sentences when a garage sale fresh 604 1/2 Bedrock with a berg blade gets pulled out with in a 2m radius.

No joy at Springwood in case you were wondering

Ha, I knew it. :U

It wasn't even in his line of sight. We were sitting and chatting when he suddenly stopped. Lifted his face and sniffed the air. "Someone's got a Bedrock" he says. "And I can't be certain but I think I caught a whiff of Berg"
It was a bit scary to be honest. :D

[wheelinround]

:U Thanks guys now that put a fine finish on a dull day for me. As Fletty's sig says " if you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side" I have just buffed it to a glowing shine thank's to you all.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

S'ok, the box is dry again. Same low, low price.

Bugger. In the rush to get out of the rain I forgot about my glue sticks and the 2 magazines I purloined.:-

Tonight I found 3 glue sticks and about 10 old mags. Are they they ones? If so PM a postal address to me.

[Bushmiller]

???

Did anybody actually remember to take anything home :? :D .

Really good to hear of a group of partial strangers and acquaintances with common ground hitting it off together. Wish I'd been there. :)

Yes, well I put it in the car, or was it in the trailer, oh crap where did I put them :?:C

[NCArcher]

I remembered to take Woodnut home :U He did have to run along side for a while till I noticed him. Lucky he's fit.

With all the traffic heading back down the hill in the rain that arvo, if he had kept running, he probably would have beat you back :U

Sounds like senior moments were had by all.

By the way, what was the attraction to the rather popular glue sticks? They were clearly the right price:U because by around 11.30 I had to go and claim my own 10, but there seemed to be something else?

Was it the length, which I don't think is available in general hardwares stores?

Were all the purchasers turners, or specifically pen turners?

[NCArcher]

I bought 10 because I didn't have change for the Rabone rule :D I'm sure they will come in handy. :shrug:

[FenceFurniture]

Yeah, they will, hence why I kept some. You don't necessarily need a hot gun though (although generally the best way).

That rule was a nice thing eh? Love the level in it, and it was in great Nick (which is why it was cheap:D). I'd fogotten that it was a Rabone (or didn't know).

Good job you bought that new LED light set up Fletty putting that new panel up cuts out so much light from the window. :p

Rightio then, but I need to know which two mags they were (and also who the others belong to), and how many glue sticks it was.

Rooooobbo....

[FenceFurniture]

Fletty, it looks like you may have a plate leftover? Do you want the grey bin I was talking about earlier (see post #206 )?

[fletty]

Yes indeedy, my intention was to get rid of stuff, not accumulate more!:U

Went to test this freezer a couple of days ago, and it doesn't work (motor runs, but doesn't get cold, and gurgles more than I did after all those snarlers:B)

So, I reckon it would make pretty good storage for tools, waxes, etc as it would keep the humidity and dust out as well as having some insulation in a hot shed. Mind you, it may be able to be fairly easily fixed so that it actually works as a freezer (which it did a very good at).

Dimensions about 1500 x 500 x 500, bottom drawer is short depth to allow for the motor.

If anyone wants it before I put it out for the sca "recyclers" then let me know asap.

Sound like a perfect candidate for a vacuum pump.

[FenceFurniture]

Apparently so, Russel. Skew was just here (picking up the one that works) and he mentioned that (VP) and also as a drying cabinet with a 25 globe in it as the heat source.

It's now out on the street, and things don't last long up here.......so if anyone wants it.....going...going.....

[FenceFurniture]

Hey GJ, it's just as well you took the photo of my drawers when you did. The grey ones just got replaced today.

[Grumpy John]

Oooh, I may just have to come up and check it out. Maybe in the second week of May :rolleyes:.
