Tomorrow is a visit to Lismore to get the foam for the daybed mattress, visit a shop that (allegedly) has enamel signs ...... and a PUB LUNCH!
interesting set of chisels - did Terry offload them?
actually am curious about the one on the bottom row to the right of middle - seems to have a chuck arrangement?
btw - Scally needs a bit of a hand if you're wandering past ... :D
Tony without your trailer I am not sure he could have done it all. Mind you he is visiting timber suppliers enroute home best have axles checked for bowing when he gets back.Quote:

Nope he did load himself up though 4 pieces of fruit cake and 4 coconut biscuits but who's counting LOL (not me Sue). Oh for the drive home never considered that Tony.:U
Forgot to mention Alan even though tempted by Calzones freshly made for lunch declined.............oh well more for me.
The chisels, and much more....

.... came from an old mate. They originally belonged to his father and can be traced back about 80 years.
A day-trip (= pub lunch) ended in a nearby collectables shop where the disappointments of the Cowra auction were quickly forgotten....

but the highlight of the day was going with the new owner and buying fabrics (:B) to try them out on the daybed....

.... it's been a good day,

Very nice sign!!
Like the tin mans mallet distroyed mine years ago panel beating must make a new one. Nice plane should clean up a treat.
Alan you are becoming an expert at fabric shopping, sewing is this you heading in a new direction?
Looks like Fletty got side tracked either at Nimbin or Rollands Plains either way he'll be high on an essence.
Nah, safely tucked up in Boambee, all good, will do some chores here before Boutique and then home tomorrow.Quote:

There were a few bits of craft woodwork for sale but, even more importantly for me, a local blacksmith had created EXACTLY the door handle I wanted for the shed...

...... and now it's MINE!
Today was a long drive home broken with a stop at Boutique Timber to get some timber for me and a pick up for a couple of mates. The drive in is spectacular....
Attachment 387349
...but the arrival is even more spectacular!
Attachment 387350
Some hours later, I arrived home safely with the timber stash intact...
Attachment 387351
..... tired but rather pleased with myself for doing everything on the must-do list and a fair proportion of the bucket list as well. Many thanks to Tony for the use of the trailer without which the daybed and lathe would still be in the shed!
fletty
Yes definitely have to thank Tony for the use of the trailer.Quote:
