Now I'm curious, what is YOUR personal temperature cutoff??

If it gets too cold to stay in the shed (seems to be sooner nowadays :( ) I find work to bring inside. This week during the evenings I lapped a plane sole and a few blades inside. In the warm moments I ducked out the shed to clean bits ready to apply paint.

Last night I sprayed the plane and today I put it back together.

Yes, I did get my butt kicked for spraying engine enamel inside the house, but as I said to the missus, the plane has to be warm or it won't set properly (it didn't make a skerrick of difference though :rolleyes: ).

I'll post a pic of the plane shortly - in Major's restoration thread so it gets resurrected - a good thread that one!

Midge, Midge, Midge.......

What's the matter wif ya?? Ya live in QLD don't ya?

You live further north than I do & I don't own a jumper :eek:

Now stop being a sook, get back into your stubbies & Tee shirt & back to the workshop!! ;) :D :D :D

It was only about 5C this morning when I went into the shed (and foggy outside to boot, so a bit damp). I soon had things up to an acceptable 20C though :)

I love the winter cant stand the bl...y heat,usually when it gets down to 14 deg time to turn on the air con.:cool:

When it gets to below 19 thats when I start to actually wear clothes.

Al :p

Which cold country would that be Sturdee? I did 35 years of hard time in Finland, after which the Brisbane weather is a bit of alright. I'd say my personal cutoff hovers around +15 at this point...

You guys don't even know what cold is. I'll tell you what cold is; when you take a and your turns to icicles before it hits the ground. Take it from this Canuck!:D

Not as cold as Canada, but I can tell you that a split 100 PSI water line at -8 makes a decent snow machine.

No comment about having to dig water lines out of snow to fix them tho :o

Ian :D

Midge,

Know what you mean. I have only just started wearing long pants in the last week. Usually stubbies etc until June.

Allan

Ahh ye pussies. I can remember when all we had was a shoebox and we was glad to have that much

the cornishman

Geez Midge!!! 19 degrees is a lovely warm day in Toowoomba at the moment!!:eek:

I have been known to wear leggins, jeans, two pairs of socks, boots, 3 long sleeve tops, 2 jumpers, a jacket and a head scarf and yep, it was the coldest day of last year and I lasted about 5 hours outside in the wind. Can't remember what I built or how I didn't injure myself, but I know I was one very satisfied and frozen girl that night:o

cheers
Wendy
