I won 280 1500x70x15 messmate planks at an auction. Went down to pick them up and it was a commercial hardwood saw mill. Had a chat with the owner and ended up driving away with another two packs. All mismatched timbers, grains and sizes but perfect for what I'm going to do with them. The packs contained various pieces of Ironbark, greygum, Redgum, West Australian karri, and others I can't remember. Also in it are some fiddle back timbers, from which species I do not know. Looking forward to finally having material to produce stuff with again!http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/47.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/48.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/49.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/50.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/51.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/52.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/53.jpg

G'day Rusty,that WA karri is a white ant magnet....they'll crawl over nearly every timber we have just to munch on it...they'll even crawl up walls to eat it if it's in the roof,they love it that much...cheersQuote:

I was just out in the bungalow spraying them down and the wonderful smells I got when entering the room. Wow!

My share. It’s not many in the end as we had to divide the makings by five. But it’s our first batch. 12kgs of meat in total.

Doesn't look like much in the photos but this arvo after work I knocked up this stand and holder for my fridge in the tools box in my ute tray. I needed to raise the fridge 50mm to bring it to a more convenient height, and stop it from sliding around in the box. One off cut off solid aluminium later and this is the end result.
I located where I did to clear the locking mechanism at the front and to give me access and protection to the loom for the fridge and lighting in the box and tray.
Very productive arvo.

When it warms up that fridge may be hating life in a metal enclosure.

Haven't considered that mate thanks for the hot tip. I'll work out the location of the motor vent and install something over the weekend. Can't get it perfect the first time!Quote:

Mate, she is so lucky. Hearing she is ok is the best news ever after a call such as that.
Bloody hell Avo glad she's ok. Crikies, good she was in a modern car. Glad for ya mate.
Don't mean to sound flippant, but she's had her first decent prang by the sound of it and she'll be a better driver for it.
So glad she is ok
