Project Information
Yep Chris would be jealous!
A camping task for no 2 Son
made two because its just as easy
Timber is from my Red Ironbark stash again
5×5/16" Bolts (that will keep a non metric LJ friends happy!
Handle is 400mm x 50 mm x 30mm
Head is 150mm x 90 mm
socket and bolt head recesses via forstener bits
chiseled out the excess by hand, that will get bandit excited!
drove in the handle and wedged it LBD always likes a wedgie
put an extra bolt in Just in case, woodnt want that slugger coming loose.
Sanded them both from 80 to 120G used a 150mm pad ROS on each mallet and the tried Abranet but it was mean to it too!
Didn't bother polishing it as its a camping tool not fine furniture.
Finished with a coat of sanding sealer.
And just in case locked the sander away!
All I have to do now is work out how I can get it to him before the next trip!
I assume everybody saw the fireworks last night, looks looks I am going to have to live to 80 now just so I can enjoy them !
