Do they last the session or do you have to be careful about how long you leave your sounder on

From past experience thats just about what your left with as a final result. Doesn't matter what you do its hard to undo Araldite. i do the destruction method and see whats left at the end to work with, or at least have the components to make up a decent rod just need a blank.

Nice Stella - I like the way you operate - The Unmounted bench vice on a Dryer was a stand out

You'll probably also appreciate the fact that the dryer door is broken around the handle so I just jammed the latch in the hole and tape it shut when I need to use it

If I ever try it again I'm going to go with a tapered bit of dowell wrapped in 80 grit emery paper in a drill.

If you havent learnt how to open a fancy stubbie with a lighter - a stick - the side of a table - BBQ tongs - or basically any hard object, by now. You probably arent going to learn..................You might want to add one of these to mans best friend.

Its wont help at a club but it might make your dog more popular at BBQ's

if you need cork for your grips and your a scrounger the local bowling club will usually have a good supply of wine bottle corks.

They seem to last one good session for me. Anyways a spare battery is just another $20 cordless drill away

That's certainly an idea. Buying 6 bottles of whiskey is another

Installed an "FG Assist pipe" at work, as I often rig up there for after work sessions (recently acquired Yuccas in the back ground)

Also found a few more Drawers for the work bench

Also found this hose reel that someone had chucked out.

Without checking, I immediately diagnosed the problem as split rubber o-rings - A quick trip to Bunnings and its back in the game.

Plus I've found a semi regular source of dry ice - not sure what I'm going to do with it but I have a few fledgling ideas.

Step one -

find a long video of Rainbow Lorikeets feeding - down load MP4 - convert the sound to MP3 - load onto ipod

Step 2

Recharge portable speaker with 30 hour play time.......
