I might go pull the head off me hilux.
It wont be a pretty sight, reckon its cracked &/or melted.
maybe the bottom half could be recovered.
I'd much rather make sawdust.

Had to pull off the starter motor on my Hiace last weekend:( ....skinned a knuckle too:~ . Thought I was going to need a reco unit, but turns out it just needed a thorough clean and some grease in the bearings etc, and bingo, works like a new one.:)
This weekend I'll be welding up myself a mobile base for my Bandsaw, and finishing off these.
Now Bob, get off the comp and start getting greasy!:p :q :~ ..
Spent a half hour fitting drawers I had built last weekend in the kitchen while wife was out shoping.
Then decided to clean up shavings, offcuts etc outside, b****er sucked up a plastic bag from behind a bench and it caught in the dust extractor fan:doh:.
Today has now turned into dusty's birthday, fix vacume leak, clean filters, remove bag from fan, empty bin, check bearings and fan mounting. Dusty has not been apart since built a bit over 2 years ago.

No bloody idea.... at a bit of a loose end today. :~
Work sadly.
Also take my kids to the Armidale show to look at their "artworks" that have been entered and see if they won anything.
Tractor driving, going round and round and round........
Listening to Breeze FM..............
Trying to beat the storms that are building up!
Buzzer - are you out Biloela way?
I have a rather unique and intellectually stimulating job this weekend.
I have to count the cars parked in designated parking bays within a given area of the main street. I have to do this once each hour from 12.00 to 8.00 pm fri, 8.00 am -8.00pm sat and 8.00 -8.00 monday.
As a change of pace I get to visit a client on sunday and discuss a management plan for 3 row timber belts.
Trying to finish my new bench. It's been WIP for a while now and I've been using it a fair bit without really finishing it properly (adding a wagon vice as well). If I stuff around any longer I fear I may drift over into Midges alternate reality.
Making sawdust, but it's only catching up on the work that should've happened during business hours. :-
Pine & MDF... nothing enjoyable. [sigh]
Well I pulled the head off the hilux head seems ok pistons seem nice & firm.
Might get the head crack tested then put a rebuild kit in the engine.
Quite cheap from USA even with postage costs
I should have been cutting out the parts for a Campanian Armuria, but my anvil stand finally succumbed to termites big-time, so I have to replace that with one made from treated hoop pine, so I can make the brass reinforces for the Sheraton-styled folding Campaign Bed I am making with a friend, so she can 'wow' them at the Bathurst bike races next time she goes.
As of dinner Saturday I have about half the bits done for the first anvil base - did I mention, 2 anvils, no waiting? If my brain works better SUnday, the basic panel framing for the Armuria should get done, then its time to fire up the router with some panel bits.
Worked 7-2 commisining a new line for a new lollie:)
went walking around the hills in the heat of the day trying to whistle foxes
Didn't see a fox or rabbit:( :((
Must have walked 9 clicks:oo: and didn't even get a shot off...(no smart comments there please:p )
Now its beer time:D :D :D :D
Tomorrow.........I'm just chillin out
:D:DQuote:

Resting today, after insulating the ceiling and 1 and a bit walls of the laundry. Too tired and bruised to do anything else. Might do a bit of planning for the shed.....
Spent yesterday helping friends move into their new house. So today I am sore as and heading back out to the new house to christen their new BBQ and see how much beer it's going to take to numb the pain!:beer::drink:
Spent Thurs Fri Sat down around Coffs Harbour area. Just a quick getaway so I didnt have to work on my bday.:D
Had a look round Mullumbimby but couldnt stay long to look at timber unfortunately.:( Have to make a trip down there with my ute...:cool:
Went and had a look at Numbucca heads. Very nice spot.
Went up the waterfall way to Dorrigo. Fantastic country around there. Spoke to a bloke from mountain top timbers about his work and where he sources his timber from. Very nice bloke and does some top work. His carving work is very good. www.mountaintoptimbers.com
Drove back to Brisbane today. Dreading going to work after such a nice few days away.:(
