Winnebago – counter top rail

After a night of thunder and lighting plus a domestic disturbance across the (what was used to be a quiet) road that required police attendance it's turned out to be a nice morning so it's off to the workshop to do a wood job for family friends and their motorhome.

I need to reproduce this counter top rail that will be fixed to the other side.

This is what the profile looks like, it’s a job for a router.

Nar Nar Goon cat run - 5

Another afternoon working on the cat run and still not finished - never mind. Travelling time chews up on-site job time, the round trip is about 80 mins.


Above: Still have to mesh the front at the end there.

Nar Nar Goon cat run - 4

Back home from Nar Nar Goon just before 6.00 pm and first thing is to let the doggies out - lots of excitement. Made steady progress today and we should be done tomorrow.


Above: Stitching up the wire mesh overlaps with fencing wire, the gauge was to heavy so we switched to good old cable ties. Generally they should be used out in the weather, later on I'll give the girls a roll of lighter gauge wire to go back and do that.

Disc Sander damage

To lazy to setup a small stepladder to get something down from the mezzanine floor of the garage workshop I stood on the edge of the table that has my 9" band saw and homemade disc sander on it, then stepped onto the top of the sander itself...and caved in the top!


Above: This is the damaged sander top, it's sitting on a new one that I have already cut and fitted to the disc sander.

Mitre saw - is good.

Needed to cut some 30cm wide material this morning which usually requires the table saw, then realised I now have a sliding mitre saw that can do the job!

Lysterfield Animal Supplies

Off soon to Lysterfield Animal Supplies, we have been going there for many many years mainly to buy stuff for the horses but not today - that's behind us now. ET has a coat on back order for Pixie that's ready for pickup. Mind you we'll still be going there (but not as frequently) for chook feed, hay, dusting powder and other related stuff.
