Not exactly a tool box, but one I made for my daughter to keep her equipment in.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Gave my 10 year old daughter a treasure chest jewelry box I made for her birthday. It is made from Macrocarpa with brass fittings. All corners finger jointed and glued. We filled it with gold wrapped chocolate bars and coins to look like treasure. She...

Pretty sure my dad has one of those in his collection.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Today I glued the sandpaper on to the velcro and gave the machine a run on a stick of wood. Operation successfull!!! We have a winner!! It worked as per the plan. All I have left to do is get my sparky to sort out a switch and we are done...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Thanks for clarifying that for us Clive! Cheers. I like simple!

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Thanks for that. Probably just local terminology! It does gauge the thickness of the wood! As a bonus the guitar actually sounds quite good too! You never can tell until you string em up.

This clip cover a time span of 8 hours......these guys were working their tails off the whole time! The boss was on his knees troweling by hand for more than half of the day! He did not have an ounce of fat on him! And the strongest handshake ever!:thumbup:

Yes the cat did run across the wet cement in the first film. That is when you can see the garage door close, as I locked him in for the day. The second day he spent in the shed with food, water and a bad attitude! Did you spot the chicken walking through frame at the beginning of the second day?!

The Woodys' came out before the job had even been finished!

No trouble with snow here! We are luck to have about 5 frosty mornings a year! The reason we colored the concrete was that it is right outside the kitchen window on the East side of the house, and stark white concrete would be blinding! The contractor said to me that after 12 months we can put...

Welcome mate!
