  1. I'm with you on this one...maybe it works different here on the coast where warmer but I won't risk sitting on the stuff. It's always a bit tacky and never really dry to the touch even when older. I think the rubbing down a few times is where the magic might be?
  2. Norrefok Warren! You have red vellies??? (I had a pair as a lighty)
  3. Love the chirp..."university, nie college nie, college is soos skool..." whahahah
  4. I'm watching this post, would love to get a few sheets of birch ply in my stock
  5. Hi Grebs, I used this board https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wireless-Bluetooth-4-0-Audio-Receiver-Digital-TDA7492P-50W-50W-Amplifier-Board-Free-Shipping/32491192417.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.56.6g38TQ with 2 x 20W 16ohm speakers. The sound is OK for my 10 year old son whom I built it for, but I detect some feedback for a short period. It sounds best at about 80/100 - 100/100, which is probably the effect of the wood density boosting sound quality or something to that effect. This board runs of 12V power, so car battery or alarm system battery. I'm busy looking at my next build when I came across this dude on youtube "Kirby Meets Audio" he has some nice product details and busy checing on Aliexpress for the parts he used in an amplified build running bluetooth. Will keep you guys posted Edit: next attempt will be a another portable, waterproof speaker with charging points and reloadable battery. I'm taking my Shox apart tonight to spy on the inetrenals
  6. Made this the weekend...bluetooth speaker, runs of 12v for my eldest. 30mm pine for box with satin black sprayed on, face 15mm pine in oregon stain with 2 x clear coat Old leather belt for handle with brass screws, can do duty either vertical or horizontal Edit: 2 x 20W speakers, cost of project; R250 for bluetooth board
  7. Meezo, 1m x 1m is perfect, see my post on the thread
  8. is this played with fingers like a guitar or is it semi percussion and how does it sound like? Edit: I see the spoon there next to it?
  9. Epoxy
  10. Something is not lekker, don't want to discuss my details, but similar situation and wanting certificates back from 2013.
  11. Love! The kind a parent gives is beaultiful!
  12. Which one then in your experience?
  13. If you have nothing possitive to add, why not rather keep quiet. Edit: ot then at least fill us in what your opinion or experience is?
  14. Also just bought on auction a very rare Swedish block plane, will share the before and after once done with the resto. The two planes above need light sanding and plane iron sharpening only
  15. Sometimes you get lucky, it seems it was my turn this past month...asked my niece in Benoni to be on the lookout for block planes of any description (I collect them and any other type of piano and violin planes) She phoned me about a month ago whilst trawling the antique shops around Benoni and surrounds with a "would this be what you looking for?" Sent me few pics of the planes and price and done deal! Stanley #130 - combination Block plane with bull nose plane in excellent condition Stanley #174 - piano plane in same condition (this is a Stanley Sweetheart edition) Bill = R180.00
  16. Bokdoos en rape!
  17. OK send me the invoice
  18. OK, OK, he did do the prototyping for free
  19. Hit me bru! LOL I'd pay you for that...and I'm saying this in my darts presenters voice....one hundred and fifty!! If I'm lowballing you,you can unfriend me or just tell me the price?
  20. I surely beats Percy! And when he's a pissed teenager he can show them his Rocket...show us your red rocket River Rocket! And after a good roggering he can stand back and say...I told you Rocket is somewhat peppery Or his girlfriend could say things like....oh boy, did you fail to launch Rocket Boy etc etc Still beats Percy
  21. V12 is spot on...it's also lighter and easier to handle over long periods and much more cost effective. You should go the rental route on the orbital sander, something with variable speed is always a winner.
  22. Now here's a real twat to moan about... http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_640x430/public/barney_primary.png
  23. Oh bother!
