RIP Eastie

[ozwinner]

Hi
As many of you regular people would know, I had a few board members over yesterday to play with the sander I have made.
I previously stated that no one was MIA, I would like to correct this.
I locked up the shed as they left, without doing a check to see if everything was ok.
On going to the shed this morning I saw that poor Eastie had been locked in the shed.
I guess he just got bored and decided to play............
Now I would have thought that being the safety concious person that he was, he would have known not to reach into a running machine.
But alas he did.

He had a terrible death, but a nice finish, I think Ill keep him, so I was wondering what sort of finish do I use, I was leaning towards shellac.

Cheers, Dr Death

Yes, I think a good shellacking is in order....

[echnidna]

why not dry him out,
then you can hang him from the roof and use him as a windchime

[Sturdee]

Poor Eastie and I only just met him.

Al, I suggest that you give him a coat of wax - U-beaut traditonal wax of course . Then you can rename your shed from "Dust Central" to Al's wax works.

in the old days shop keepers were allowed to keep the heads of thieves they had caught on poles out the front of thier shop, when the head rotted and stunk the place up they replaced the original witha carved effigy. thats my suggstion anyway!

Wow, what a draw card that would be outside of Bunnings. They would have room for several hundred heads along their front fascias. Families could go out for the day to view the heads and see if there was anybody they knew and they could have a picnic at the same time thanks to the BBQ that you can always get at the big B. Wouldn't it be a scream to go along and suddenly come across your son's/mother's/sister's/father's head stuck on a pole. Talk about laugh. Ho ho ho. Anybody know what they were allowed to do with the rest of the body?

Ozwinner,
Seeing as Eastie has no further use for them can I have the sandedshoes?

[Wood Borer]

Ozwinner,

You make out it was accidental - I am not so sure.

When Sturdee and I left your place we clearly saw Eastie's car following us proceeding in a Southerly direction towards Melbourne but it was keeping a fair distance so the driver could not be identified. Naturally we assumed it was Eastie but was it really?

How do you know he wasn't tortured and murdered by person(s) unknown? What information were they after? Was he about disclose secret information?

Was it really Eastie who visited your place? Had you met him before?

Who was driving his car???

Was it You?

I was inspecting Al’s neat wiring job when the machine just fired up. I stood up to have a look at what was going on and before I knew it Al had fed me through the mongrel, twice – once forward and once backwards. Admittedly, I didn’t mind it sanding a bit off me high spots on the first pass, but the second pass was more than I could handle. As I made my way towards the light all I could hear was “bugger, you tore the sandpaper of my drum”.

The ghost of Eastie

EASTIE.
Your wife put him up to it, she reckoned you needed the rough edges taken off you.

With no sniping I hope?

Did his sandshoes clean the sandpaper drum on the way out?
