Statement based on current financial status

Ask us again tomorrow night!

30 years ago kids that age could hardlly ride a bike!

My woodworking has been limited to concrete form work and whittling sticks lately

I like that and you used engineering 101 principle "thicker is better" unless you build an aeroplane. You could also probably lower it by at least 300mm's reducing the load, but other than that its perfect

He's missing his beer, be kind

I have a supplier in Hluhluwe that does a Nyala wors with skaapvet. I'm yet to taste a better venison wors. Are you partial to venison liver? - My favourites are again Nyala liver on the fire - Second favourite is Impala, neat and when i feel extravagant wrapped in streaky bacon

Howick Preperatory School in KZN has a lightning detection system they employ for safe sports. You should speak to them if you're truly interested in something that works. They have 40km sensitivity on their system. Works perfect from my experiences driving there for sport only to have the siren wailing and having to head home again

Must've been the best selling TV is South Africa at the time, that model and the one without the pedastal. I remember my brother being the remote control for a time till he started pulling rank on me and that became my job

I'm sure that Bakfiets is electrically supported, if not he's a machine!

Perhaps you know about this one, but if not it will save plenty of your precious epoxy... mix your epoxy with meths (methylated spirits back here it's purple) in a 70/30 epoxy/meths mix. apply to the crappy plywood...it serves the purpose of sanding the boards flat and making it workable offering minor surface penetration. During the final steps of construction your proper epoxy mix (structural mix) will bind properly to the penetrating mix (surface protection)

That's worth collecting!

Pragtig! nee wag, uitstekend...wag, wag...PUIK!

Thanks Dale...this one for you brother!

I did some looking and scratching last night and found the company existed somewhere between the 50's-60's and were particularly famous for cloudy ginger beers. Was a local outfit but could find nothing more. Found an old link to bidorbuy where one of the gingerbeer bottles sold for R800.

Wicked!

I'm a 50/50 woodworker. I love keeping my skills with my handtools dialed in and therfore love mixing up my projects with hand tools and then my power tools. I have a favourite plane for finishing work when edges feel a bit proud, smoothing out slight inperfections and the like. So I finesse them to where they are needed with my Stanley 101 Sweetheart, if you ever find one, buy it, mine is from 1950 something. I also absolutely love my Dozuki "Z" saw for fine joinery and flush cutting when it's close to the edge. That being said, the worst saw and handtool I have is a Stanley Tennon Saw...why I haven't chucked it I honestly don't know. It's a crude tool, I just don't like it. I can't walk past a Stanley or Record spoke shave though, I don't ever use them much, but I love having them. I sometimes just sit with coffee and some background music admiring them and realising that they were never really used by the previous owners either.

Ag don't worry boet, the Yanks haven't sent a rocket of this planet on their own before either, it's either an ex-Nazi or ex-SAFFA that needs to help them do it!

Solomans Cycles website, full of helmet deals and other goodies

Indeed, I made the comment in the commuter thread about the complete lack of glass in the yellow line of my commute. It's an absoulte pleasure rding to work in the mornings (except today, it was 10degC)

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'll try all the info this weekend.

We live in a special province where drinking in public is legal, but Savanah Lite would not be my first choice.

What a beaut!
