Chooks coop heater - some modifications.

Due to some very cold nights I've been swapping between the regular 75W ceramic heat emitter and the larger 250W one. Currently that's a PIA cos I have to take out 2 screws to remove the top cover - time to fix that.

To change the heat emitter (lamp) I have to remove two screws and take off the top.

Annual council collection - finished

That's it for this years council collection, the last truck (green one) has cleared my three big stacks of green one of which was on my neighbours side.



Left a real mess out onto the road which is all cleaned up now including trimming and mowing.


Scroll saw project - update 14

I'll use it for a while and see how it preforms. There will likely be refinements and I'll post the updates., here are two parting pictures.

Scroll saw project - update 13

The blade (cutting area) is quite close to the front of the table so I decided to make a fold down extension table.

The table extension is from Laminate flooring.
