And then to this. Fyi the colour in photos never do that colour justice, there is just so much potential, compare what you might know the colour of pine(on the wall) to the colour of the timber I just dressed. Soooo much more exciting

Oh do tell....Is it a bar top?
gum? That stuff is hard on knives/cutters/machines.
Good wood tho. Not too common here on the main island. Made myself some trestles out of it... know where a few more meters are stacked up too, but gaddamn it's unfriendly stuff.
...gawd I wish I still felt that way about wood. But after you've run a few hundred (thousand?) metres of the shit through machines...the novelty wears off. And if you're doing it with a hand plane... you're just mad!

Definitely no to the hand tools mate haha I have a thicknesser. I've machines a fair amount of wood over time, but the novelty hasn't worn off yet thankfully. Nah it's going to be a bed for my youngest. He's outgrown his cot, which I made also lol. Yeah this timber is very very hard on the equipment but hard work bring big rewards imho. At a guess I think it's karri. Grain is nice and straight so not Redgum and when I bought the pack of timber the bloke said there was a mix of fiddle back messmate, iron bark, karri, some Redgum sleepers and some otherstuff. I bought it from a saw mill and believe it was just timber that didn't fit an the neat packs for shipping so it was consolidated over time and then left without thought on how to get rid of it. Scored the whole pack for under $150 I think.

Hey mate, yep were upgrading him to a king single. It's just longer than a single bed it you don't know. I've made alot of furniture around the home, including all the beds and cots. Here are the beds I've made(can't find one of my daughter's)

We moved to a new house this week, nice little exclusive neighbourhood. Wildlife here is unreal! We have our very own bower.
The camp ground.
The neighbour has some weird pets...

finished off tidying up fridge, battery, lighting etc type wiring yesterday.
don't know why, but i'm getting 14v registering on my poor mans scanguage, my dc-dc charger input and the output of the charger has bumped up a bit now as well.
just shortened a few +ve leads, removed a few leads, cleaned a few -ve connections, replaced a fuse.
old girl's running like a top now.
after 20+ years, also christened the garage floor on saturday. 8.2 litres of old diesel oil spilt, coz someone forgot to pull out the oil bucket before they backed out of the shed. that didn't make me happy.
sand and engine degreaser to the rescue.
