My Fish catcher!

I’ve starting on a wee project. This is a fish catcher to catch live bait for the boat. A bit left to do on it but you should get the idea. Basically a water cooler bottle with top inverted.

Sparks flying!!

And today’s workshop lesson was all about hot metal, grinding, sparks and mig welding! I’m sorting out the workshop so he actually played with heaps today! We also played with all the air tools and Jack AirHammered a small hole in the garage floor. All good fun for a young boy!

New Feed Bins!

This was the latest project for Sarah. New feed bins for her horse tuck-shop area. Took about 6 hours and they work great! Should be worth some brownie points!

The scooter kid!

Jack and Livvy are loving their scooters. Jack’s been a good boy lately so I did the Dad thing and built him a new ramp. Just high enough for him to get a good kick… Even I went over a few times on my old school skateboard! Still got the skills!

Dad’s Bed Build for Livvy!

I spent a solid day in the workshop last Saturday knocking up a new ‘big girl’ bed for Olivia. Check it out! We’ll move it to her room this week and with a bit of luck she’ll actually sleep in it without getting up!
