Love the bench RB - hope it gets lots of use! May I suggest:

Rental rubber band guns. First try-out on Saturday, went exceedingly well (both as a game and as a marketing tool)

I just love the ingenuity of carpenters

Plastic putty knife. You get lekker wide ones, up to 200mm, but a 100mm one is awesome (and should cost around R15)

About two years IIRC. Replaced bushes once, after running it pretty much non-stop 8 hours a day for three weeks last year. Cost me R80, got them from Chamberlains of the shelf. Dust collection is good but not great, but I've never seen a router that actually has good collection.

That thing is a beast. I've got one mounted in a table, chews up anything I throw at it. Use PROPER TCT bits though (Tungsten Carbide Tipped)

Not strictly a braai, but one of only three pics I took over the weekend. Only a decent braai beats a skottel brekkie.

Hmm. Imagine that, it DOES look longer once trimmed.

You're gonna get some 'NAZI' comments over that one, guaranteed.

I had a boss in Cape Town, fantastic chap, that co-paid for any visible piercing or tattoos for his programmers and IT support okies - his reasoning (in 2000) was that he can charge more for the guys that look 'weird'. He did, and clients paid. No questions asked

Nice job rocket.

I'm looking for a carpentry appy in Pretoria, if anyone knows one. Needs to be able to work unsupervised, training will be provided if needed, mainly bandsawing and sanding work (braindead monotonous work in other words), pay is crap, no benefits and a cranky boss.

Try HUT from MrWoodturner - works a charm on almost any pen I've tried it on.

Spraying some more cammo side covers for rubber band guns. There's a 120 in this pic, I do three or four such batches at a time. Four colors, with two of them being sprayed twice.

Both thick and thin. Thin stuff went on easier. I guess my biggest issue is finding a clean, lint-free cloth in my workshop ... lol. The place is a damn mess at the moment.

Have any of you tried CA finish on turnings? I played with it a bit last night and ... OOOH shiny. And hard. But messy.

Hardware centre in Randburg.

Try grated cheddar (not too much) blue cheese and whole fig jam.

Your meat takes a beating on the braai, it's always best to give it a bit of rest afterwards

Give it a rest already.

Come to think of it, most of my school buddies I haven't seen in 20 years. The guys I really miss are the couple in the States and Oz. Old work buddies moved all over the show. Current colleagues aren't people I'd be seen in public with

I was having a rare treat on Saturday night, braaing a couple of 1Kg T-bones for me and the family, when my thoughts went to wondering where the hell all my 'buddies' went, and why the hell I was braaing alone. Then it hit me - I'm over the dronk phase. And I don't have time for dronkies and their *** stories. Sad but true, just about everyone I knew from school/varsity/work buddies fall into that category nowadays. Can't have fun if they don't get dik gesuip.

Q20 works for me

Tell him I think he's a dwis. Because of spearo's selling fish we are getting policed more and more. Unless, of course, he has a commercial fishing licence ... which, if I remember correctly, still not allow spearos to sell fish
