Haha funny you mention it, we purchased 12L of white paint and used less than half. The original plan did include painting the eaves but we didn't have enough time between the balustrade and festivities ;)

Thanks mate, there was plenty of help from friends but we're pretty proud of the result. Also congrats on 40 years with Mrs 1/2 cup!

Yeah feel sorry for the states without rec reg, it's $80 a year and allows us to ride most dirt tracks. One of my previous bikes was a 96 XR400, great bike no doubt but the suspension and weight does make it a challenge sometimes in comparison to the 350. The 350 is much more confidence...

Nice berg! love the 90s style The Berg is awesome, it's sad the company no longer really exists. The FE350 is a 2013, so KTM engine (same as 350exc) and mostly ktm parts with a few different plastics and engine map. I had the bike rec reg'd a week ago, most mental 15 minutes of life! between...

Much appreciated dlcwent I actually created this thread to somewhat remind me of what I've accomplished. Weekends always seem to be too short and my to-do list too long.

Haha don't look too closely at mine. They are not square/level or even smooth to slide! But none of that matters when you have tools and junk everywhere and struggle to maintain bench space. Thanks for visiting as always

Start of the year didn't go to plan... While i was away 60mm of rain fell within 30mins around my area. Garage flooded a little. Luckily I had half a bag of dust/chips in the dust extractor to make cleanup easier :o I have some time off this week so time to chip away at my backlog of...

Quick pre new year update! Need to haul my tools to a friends place to help a mate out so decided to make a box for tool transport. Big enough for a heap of tools, certainly isn't light either :o Mazzanine level for more tools No lock yet but it's big enough to fit plenty of tools and...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 1/2 cup, on behalf of all the regulars here in GJ your encouragement and updates are much appreciated [emoji2]

Yeah I still haven't got 15A power in the shed yet and an extension lead to my nearest point is too far. Also time, consumables and gas for the tig probably work out more expensive in the end. Also having it put together with bolts/Rivets give me the option to easily adjust the shelves if...

Jotun 605 Still have a good 10L left over from the rest of the garage. Thanks for visiting bears!

Small update from today's quality garage time Boards are getting their first batch of epoxy fill Started constructing the dungeon shelves. Progress by end of the day... Plenty of swearing over blunt drill bits including a few broken but I got there in the end! :)

Thanks 1/2 cup I've got the older version of a Ryobi thicknesser with the 2000w motor. Just takes 1-2mm cuts all day on hardwood no problem. Relatively minimal snipe despite the flimsy wings. It was a gumtree special, $150 from memory with a spare set of blades. Turned out the existing blades...

Busy as always but here's a small update... Dungeon shelves are slowly progressing Finally decided I needed to give my dirtbike a ride after 3+ years laying dormant :(:( Such a great bike but after 2 hours in the bush it reminded me why i've never ridden it much. The gearing is designed for...

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Our garden has become somewhat of a forest lately so I made an impulse purchase during the week. Arlec 2.5hp electric mulcher Runs nice and quiet and seems to have had little use. The blades were barely worn but also look like they have never been sharpened...

Thanks Catalin and welcome to GJ

Well the past 2 weeks have been a cracker in Melbourne...such nice weather Thursday Night in the city....I'll give a clue as to why i was there: "Bernard Bernard Bernard look look!" Dungeon painting finally done, starting to put up some support for my wood rack. Ozito hammer drill came in...

Good idea, the LED tester is the best though, can be 100% sure the car wiring is working. Much easier to know if a bulb is gone or the trailer plug is faulty. Since your into rusty metal things, saw these today and thought they might be your taste...

Weather is getting better and better these days, weekends are very busy! few weekends ago had a nice ride on puffing billy to gembrook, the weather was stunning! Took the Amarok out last weekend, Warburton -> Mt Donna -> Narbethong -> Marysville mainly fire trails nothing serious. Had to...

Little bit of shed time this weekend wrenching. Replaced the Amarok's front suspension with Bilstein B8's. Existing front right strut had a good 12mm crack in it, oil everywhere and wouldn't pass a roadworthy. Sunday had one of the BFGs patched from a fairly large hole. After some family...
