Project Information

Hi All,

I know I have been super slack for over two years…... Those of you in the know will understand that due to Covid and other Political reasons my career has been somewhat destroyed. Anyways, here we are on the Farm in Northern NSW Australia. We were flood-affected here and the shed went under although fortuntly my right-hand man Rob B (Robcastle) has been an enormous help getting all equipment back up and running.

Back to the project…....... I wanted the self-satisfaction of starting and finishing a project in one afternoon. Having cleaned the wood stack out before lunch with Lovie Cheryl I had lots of treated pine offcuts, small pieces. (I tend not to burn them in the BBQ due to arsenic content)
I worked on the theory of Crappy, offcut wood into a functional piece. A small table to sit by the fire and rest beer on came to mind.

The joints are rough butt joints merely clamped and screwed together. The top was once again of treated pine decking pieces.
All in an afternoon that resulted in a beer by the fire. The new addition to our small family "The Dog" named Rip seemed to like it…....

Thanks all for checking in, having been absent from here for two years I don't deserve comments.
Cheers to all,

Kind Regards
Anthony

EDIT Some of the pics show the new, under construction, live edge slab style woodworking bench in the background, still under construction.

Looks like an excellent job, almost like a woodworking showroom!!.

Internals look great, another 8 or so days and I will check it all out!

Still bloody raining here!

Meanwhile check this out for a farm vehicle for collecting firewood!

Well done, Anth! Glad you're back "home" on the farm. Rip does indeed look as though he enjoys the table.

Wind has been blowing for most of two months here. We've had about a quarter inch (6mm) of rain in those two months, so things are dry, the forests are burning, and we've got a watering restriction on.

Rob, that looks like a fine vehicle for collecting wood, though perhaps a bit too clean at the moment. ;-)

Great to hear you're safe and starting to enjoy the farm downunder Anth.

Table looks strong, suits the purpose and helped us up your offcuts, winner!

As you said making and completing a project in an afternoon makes one feel on top of the world, well done sir.

On Rob's farm truck suggestion, maybe a little well restored for paddock bashing!

Anthony - so happy to see you on the move again. A table can be anything you want as long as it'll support a couple beers. I'm sure you'll be happy to have new family member, they are such good company and friend. Please tell Lovie Cheryl I said hello.
Again, Welcome back
