I unexpectedly find myself with a day at home, so will get into the shed, no turning though, the place needs a good tidy up, Ive got RC cars & helicopters all over the place.

Spent the week end trying to arrearage the shed.the wife got in on the act and a lot of wood ended up in the outhouse.
Don't know if it I succeeded in gaining any more room.

That's not like you Woody, hope your enthusiasm returns soon, perhaps it your bodies way of saying slow down for a while, take care mate.

Hope its just a blip, we all have days where it just don't feel right, or you just can't find your mojo. So like Grumps says kick back and chillax with a bottle or three, for tommorrows another day. There's a blindingly obvious statement.

No shed time this weekend, but as of 14:45 I is on holidays. mon/tues on a course with the GF, wed/thurs finish shed, electrics tidy up etc. Fri interview, first one in two years.
Found a new unused Ferm pillar drill in my dads shed, poor ol' bugger never got to use it before he shifted of his mortal coil, guess where it's new home is. First pen blank I drill with it will be for a Rhodium Zeta for my son, so there will be a little of three generations in the pen. Thanks Dad.

Some of the Stash I picked up on Saturday. The shorter lengths of Burl in Red Mallee etc my mate cuts as he goes for other items keeps a profile and docks these at the same time. He has a thousand or two offerd them to me for a dollar each I bought ten he had nearly a ton of other burl cut for table knife handles etc plus the others. The excess ton his mate said we need more handles and so he got the ton of red Mallee in cut it up and found in his stash another ton already cut up. He has a huge stash and some sheds on his farm property out of town.
