Take the steel work to a sandblaster, paint with Hammerite smooth. No primer needed.

So Dlamini has put his entire year at risk all for R 90.00?

Nice bonus.

I have been following the thread but have yet to read that Nick Dlamini did in fact have a permit. Is anybody able to confirm that he paid to ride in the area?

Builders had these on special a few years back some months after the 1st round of heavy load shedding https://www.builders.co.za/Electrical/Inverters-%26-Solar-Energy/Inverters/Ellies-Power-Inverter-DC-1200w-2000va-24v/p/000000000000395576?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuIKNsdWt5gIVmK3tCh1cHQSrEAQYASABEgLVtPD_BwE Paid R 6 K at the time, works well.

Nice job. You have inspired me to repaint my Giant. Anyone have artwork on file for a Giant Trance 26" 2009? Please.

Pink, purple, chain breaker or no chain breaker, that is a sweet piece of kit. You have raised the bar. I tip my hat to you Sir. Well done!

The fishing was great, the catching not that good.

My sentiments exactly. I have a bit of fish, a bit of Chicken, a bit of lamb and a bit of meat. Pork not so much.

Can't be that hard, very badly tailored suit that.

Femco is well known, still going as an electric motor supplier I think. R 800 is a bit high IMO https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-power-tools/eastern-pretoria/femco-bench-grinder/1006092334790910259545409

Hand plane. Obeche and Australian black wood. Made a few to give away to family and mates. Great in big surf.

Anyone use a Bialetti Mukka Express Cappuccino maker? Looking for opinions from users please.

Is that tool envy I detect?

I came here to learn a bit about LCHF and started at the end of the thread, all I have learnt about is people. I'm already a cranky old git and I have come to the conclusion that if I try this LCHF diet my wife will throw me out of the house!

If I could afford it I would go and live somewhere else quite honestly.

I don't recall if you indicated your children's age in a previous post on this thread but this may be a point worth considering. At some time in the future they will be an age where the mothers opinion of you has no legal bearing (not sure of my terming here) However, what you need to avoid at all costs in the meantime is getting sucked into the hate game with a woman who becomes hell bent on making your life a miserable one, you will lose. What she may also do is attempt to drive a wedge between you and the kids, this would be a disaster. She got what she wanted, she lives a long way away and at some point she will have to go through the tough period that most people who leave do. Perhaps that's now? maybe you get blamed? Hold the high ground, abide by the courts ruling, as I'm sure you are doing and do what ever it takes to keep your relationship with your children a loving one. The years will pass and you will still have your kids and she will be out of your life for good. Lot's of us have kids that live overseas, it's tough, yours started very early and neither they nor you had a choice in that decision. You have to do what ever it takes to maintain a relationship with them while still being a father. Good luck to you all.

Danish oil is a very good finish. Thin the 1st coat with white spirits. Do not use turpentine. Trust me on this. Hardware Centre sell it.

Not to mention the vehicle of choice for any self respecting rebel army/armed faction across the globe! The Land Cruiser pick up is a great place to mount anti aircraft guns.

Simon123, my advice is this. "When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging" The Hub is not the place to bull#h1t, you have been sprung, take it on the chin and move on chap.

Gumtree etc, car boot sales markets and those sorts of places to buy.. Look at this site for restoration/buying advice. http://www.hansbrunnertools.com/Stanley%20by%20numbers/Stanley%20History.htm
