"My sheep have no nose!" "How does he smell?" "Awful!!" ;-)

I used something called knot hole filler from a trader called glossi on trade me he is in glendene auckland the phone no is 098135600 company called liquid polymer glass. 21 bancroft crescent glendene Auckland if you phone the product is cheaper than buying on trademe as no fees. He ships all over the country

Me too, but it didn't stop me from eating her!!

Thanks

I will see if I can find some here thanks

You're welcome would like to see that when it is done

Thank you

I didn't measure it but the first pour was quite hot to the touch ie like holding a cup of coffee temperature

Thank you

Thank you

Thanks, and no its just a trick of the light

Thank you

Well it just took a little bit of time and effort, if you can hammer a nail in you can make this. You don;\'t even really need power tools if you are masochistic! :-)

The 4x4s I have had 10 years (I was going to build a gazebo)the 2x4s were the off cuts from framing foot my shed and The decking was excess from fencing as I use it as a cheaper option to post and rail my paddocks. Most of the 75mms nails were recovered from pallets

Thank you

Thanks

Pencil Inception!?

Thanks

Thanks

Good idea, thanks

Thanks

Thank you and you are welcome

:-)

No you misunderstand me, I meant cast in an already made steel hook (from a plastic coat hanger) as part of your casting, also you could possibly use a whole lightweight plastic hanger as your former rather than a foam one as the aluminium would melt it and displace it

I want to have a go at casting at some point (finding the time is an issue at the moment)However I would have thought that a steel hanger hook could have been better to cast in as part of it as the aluminium one is likely to straighten or break, as ally isn't all that strong

We had the same issues when we had our first pool (10 years now!) Great advice and once you get it settled all is good.Great advice, I should have noted it down myself when we had itEnjoy your pool!

Very cool, don't know if I would nhave enough patience to do this, have voted for you even though I have entered the same competition!

thanks

Thanks, this was all completed in one day (although I had the block for a while) -it was a quiet day at work

Excellent, glad it was of help

Have sent from my work account (Stephen.taylor2@nzdf.mil.nz)

Groan, Pick a window - you're leaving!!! ;-)

Groan --------------- pick a window - you're leaving!!!(my one was that he had a pane of glass behind each ear - his name was Paddy O'Doors

If you are careful and the pattern isn't too intricate or flimsy however it is as quick to make a new one (or cut several layered together at once)

The postal Service in NZ don't give two hoots what your postbox is like ( we have everything from Milk churns to model houses) as long as there is a box of sorts and they can reach it from the van window

International Bulk Container, 100lire plastic container used for oil, chemicals, water, cleaning fluids etc, I get them (used 0 for about $40 -$60in NZ

It's Vinyl although phonetically yours works too! :-)

You're welcome, the dusting is done but you need to do something about the spiders! Also I kept the twenty dollars I found behind here

I used to have that problem, now I don't have hair! ?

When I was making sawhorses an old guy told me how to get them flat so they don't rock. You could use the same principle here. Place the whole thing on a flat surface about the size of the "footprint" of the object, then use a slightly thicker piece of wood and scribe or draw a line on each leg while the model is steady . Cut to these lines and that should make all legs evenly sit . Does that make sense to you? I will sketch it and scan (as I am away at sea and don't have access to camera/tools at the mo)

Cool setup, I have a similar setup tho with a mains pump, also in NZ we have the freedom to use our roof water as and when we want (I have 2 x 50,000 liyre tanks for dtinking/wash water as we are not on the mains) So much for the land of the free! ;-) (BTW I'm Royal NZ Navy shippers - regards to RCN (we send some of our lads to you for training))

Congratulations on the retirement, I am coming up to 40 years a sailor next year 4 in the merch ,25 in RN , 10 in RNZN. Hope to retire soon

Paying for stuff is so last century!! Good luck with your search

Once cleaned season it with oil and it'll be great

Good idea, I have several "dead" drills and this would be perfect for working in the paddocks/driveway rather than running 1/4 mile of extension leads (like I sometimes do!!!) The car even has 4 power points (front and rear cigarette and 2 aux in boot)

Thanks, harks back to the 1994 dispute with the wrestlers using WWF outside of the US (now WWE) and WWF (World Wildlife Fund) now the World Wide Fund For Nature

Sounds like a good setup

I would imagine that a good plumbing shop would have them. Places like Bunnings and mitre 10 tend to only stock whole units.

I found that the leg tab holes need a little adjustment so that it sits flat on all 4 feet, so cut them individually to suit (I drilled a hole and cut and filed them out) Basically do one pair and adjust as necc for the others

I really have no idea on lasers, all a bit "James Bond" for me but I would imagine it depends on the material thickness, you may have to adjust the slot sizes if you have thinner woodI would also advise that you don't cut the leg tab holes until you have had a dry fit to make sure it sits flat on all four feet See also my other one https://www.instructables.com/id/Winosaur-2-Winosaurus-Rex/

Oh and also good luck and post a pic so I can see

Great I'ble, Just a word of advice on fitting tight bearings (Step 6) If you put them in the freezer for an hour or two they will contract and fit more easily, then expand for a tight fit. Also rather than knock them in with a mallet, which you rightly say could break the print, try pressing them in using a G clamp or woodworkers clamp as the slower, more gentle easing of them into position is less likely to cause damage and also ensure that they will be located straight
