Pocket Hole Joinery

Decided to make a pocket hole jig.

A pocket hole is simply a hole drilled at an angle that forms a "pocket" for the screw to sit into. You can usually find examples of pocket hole joinery around the house, turn a timber chair upside down or look under a table. After the pocket hole is drilled, a specially designed fastener is used to assemble the joints.

Speckles - good news

On our way back home from the vet and feeling relived after the vet had a feel and informed us that the "mass" inside her has gone.

The "mass" is the result of secreting egg material which leads to egg peritonitis which in turn leads to infection - just finished her second round of antibiotics.

Now we wait and see what happens when her $99 hormone implant (long acting, slow-release hormone to stop ovulation and egg production ) - wears off.

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.

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.

Another new toy for kitties.
