What have you been upto today

[Dalboy]

Well for me it is preparing wood for my latest build. Cutting wood from 3/16" up to 3/4" thick for my latest model build I had got as far as the chassis and realised I had not got enough wood prepared for the next assembly so set about cutting that while doing so I did more for the next two sub assemblies.
Photo's of the chassis and today's cutting/planing

This will eventually be a rc model yacht called a footy. It's a class that's mainly for homebuild with the only stipulation that the boat and keel will fit into a box that's 12in by 6in by 12in deep.

Looks like a great challenge. I have so many radio controlled boats but am now going to get rid of them taking up too much room

It's something I've just started doing Derek and I find it really relaxing. We sail on a Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. The lake is almost 200 yards across so just at the limit for the transmitter over water. I may be in the market for another boat mate. Drop me a pm with what you want to dispose of and I'll have a look.

The wife wanted a small cupboard type thing for the hall. Made this one this week and as she wanted to paint it I managed to do everything with screws and filling the recesses. Makes things much easier. Could someone turn it round for me please.

I don't think it will fit on my lathe to turn it round Keith, could have a go for you but I think it will make a mess of the baskets.

Excellent work gents, wished I had got time to do anything as its been another day of bloody hospitals, been there every day for the last 6 weeks.

Soon be over..

Cheers me up popping in here to see the banter and the work you are doing tho..

Keep it up.
