I'm not in love with this fence, but it's a million times better than what was there. Hopefully when painted black, it'll blend in better?

Hard to see, but there's a hot wire on top to stop cows eating my trees!!! Those trees were all planted on the same day about 4 years ago, the ones the cows can't reach are 3m tall, the ones they can reach are 1m high bonsai trees...fucken cows!!!

I posted this in the shed thread awhile back, started it nearly a year ago:oops:

Started with OG native wood kitchen sink unit, circa 1950s state house. Pretty much just used the front and the old t&g floorboards on the side there, replaced and extended the frame as those old units are quite shallow.20190707_214757.thumb.jpg.086c7818f51fe7b872614a113ae0c17a.jpg

The bottoms of the drawers were worn down almost a centimeter in places from years of work, I squared it all up and replaced the thin mdf shit with this 13mm very sexy ply off cuts from work.

Bottom won't full outta these! Painted the unit with the cheap dump shop paint I scored, got a little sidetracked sorting the whole shed out.20190718_232817.thumb.jpg.a4c53460f93e1374bceede7e6bbaa993.jpg

And that's how it's sat for at least the last few months as life, work etc got in the way.

That silage bale green paint brings back childhood memories of garage cabinets that smell of mouse nests and have screws and bolts that have sat in there for 20 years without moving

And other rad stuff such as corroded chrome tapware, yesteryear newspapers and wooden boxes of oldschool AF who knows whats

I made this pohara M16x2 tap on the Barry lathe as a test today. I'll need to get some actually hardenable steel (the black is from attempted hardening of unknown steel) and make a nice one. Will also benefit from a bigger end mill for cutting the flutes

And perfect to add pulley setup for hanging animals to gut/skin

I was thinking of adding a pivoting arm that I could hang my water blaster off, kind of like those washworld places. But yeah, it will be used for the above for sure, as current I hang the odd deer in our house garage much to my kids delight and my wife's disgust.
