Possum dray - part 1

Camera photos backup

Besides the usual Win10 backup I also do a manual file copy to USB HDD using the DOS XCOPY command.

Started taking digital photos way back in 1998 with the purchase of a Agfa ePhoto 1680 Digital Camera. Was expensive something like $1,600 bucks!

Auto fill/recycle bird bath–alterations

The birdbath is close to the workshop so decided to do away with the car battery and bring all the electrics inside and run from a 12V power supply. Loosing light and then had a double injury to the right wrist so we'll have to come back in the morning - that's fine.

Running a 12V power cable in some old electrical conduit into the workshop.

Turning fence palings into dressed timber–part 1

Turning fence palings into dressed timber with the ALDI WorkZone Planer Thicknesser.

Dressed pine timber is expensive - very expensive. Wherever possible I use cheap fence palings for my projects and… if needed I dress my own timber.

The machine has two configurations - planer and thicknesser. We are setup for the latter here to smooth the paling faces.
