What has made you Happy today??

Building a pergola at my mum's place to salvage a grape vine my father planted more than 30 years ago.
I got some brackets plasma cut from 5mm thick COR-TEN steel for aesthetic purpose really, but fitting them today I'm really pleased with how they look on the 150mm square treated pine framework.

I love it when a plan comes to fruition.

Ratchet straps in there to hitch the vine up to the new pergola height slowly over time

Hey @MB the other day I remembered, years ago I built a storage box for the back of the Hilux. As it turns out, it's perfect for the mobile tool trolley/bench/storage box I'm wanting to make. Then at a place I work I found 4 castors (is that the term for wheels??) that they don't know they had and haven't moved for 5 years, so I reallocated them.

Today I'm getting 5mm sheet & a vice and I reckon I'll be set.

One half of the box has shelves, the other half is open.

Picked up some 5mm plate for the top of my bench. I got my 2's and 1's muddled up. I got 2170mm long, but only needed 1270mm, so I've got some offcut to play with. Gee a 2170mm long piece of 5mm is bloody heavy.

Also picked up a 100mm vice.

Had a mongrel of a night. Woke up at 1pm today, to find that Mrs mudsane had gone to the seafood outlet and bought me a crayfish.
