Foxtel Go now available on T-Box

I don’t have a compatible mobile device but I have installed Foxtel Go on my desktop PC and it works well. The PC has a HDMI connection to a Soniq E40V14A 40" Full HD LED-LCD TV so that gives another viewing option.

Cross-cut sled

Following the general wood working hobby trend where if you have a table saw then a compulsory  addition is a crosscut sled – I did the same.

ALDI: SINGER PROMISE 1412 SEWING MACHINE

Early start this morning (for us retirees) to get to ALDI before opening time so we don’t miss out on the sewing machine and table. We were 2nd in line with a nice lady in front of us, she and the guy behind us were all after the same stuff. ET went for the machine and I the table which is 42.5kg, gave the lady a hand with hers and in doing so lost ground as others crowded in behind me but pushed back in and grabbed one assisted by the fact they could not lift the boxes. Later gave the lady in front of us a hand to load her car.

 

Disc sander project

While cleaning up the tool cupboard came across some vintage stuff from the early sixties! I remember now...my dad and I caught the train into the city to visit McEwan’s to purchase a complete Sher ShopMate work shop system – the ultimate at that time. I still have the Sher PowerMatic drill (later on became Skill Sher).

Note the mounting collar at the front of the drill. There is also a blind hole at the back on the same centre line to support the drill in the ShopMate stand.
