Planning for Development

ARIES1973 @ARIES1973 (11944) • Legaspi, Philippines 20 Mar 21

The year 2021 is probably one of the busiest years in so far as my offline job is concerned. It all started during the last quarter of 2020 when we were ordered to immerse in the villages in order to help them come up with their...

Posting to Austria soon

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Jul 20

I wrote recently about making a display case for a little friend in Austria. Apart from installing a blue velvet lining (just to the bottom- we’re not clever enough to line the whole thing), it’s now finished. The wood looks a bit...

Now that we have tidied up our workshop, we decided to make another little box which will be a gift for a little friend in Austria. We made one in jarrah, an Australian reddish wood, but we’re using pine for this one. The last...

One of our first attempts at making furniture

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Jun 20

The photo shows two shots of a cabinet we built when we renovated the bathroom in a previous house. We weren’t very experienced then and made one big mistake which was good in a way as it meant we’ve never made the same mistake...

Do you like our shelves?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Jun 20

One of our ‘social isolation’ tasks was to go through our hundreds of photos and try to eliminate those that were really of no value. I’m talking about hard copies, not digital photos. I’ve come across a couple of photos that I...

Recently, I wrote several discussions about our workshop and some of the items we found while we’ve been clearing it out. Yesterday, in a pile of haybale string, I found the remains of a baby ringtail possum but I won’t put up a...

We have been cleaning out our workshop and today we were sorting through a set of lockers. Several of them power tools; one is full of garden bits and pieces and in the back of another, I found these glass insulators. Maybe you...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 19 May 20

Several houses we have lived in have had huge lounge rooms. The photo shows the lounge of a house we lived in in Perth, capital of Western Australia. The house was on a small block but had a huge pool just off the back verandah....

Another item from the workshop

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 16 May 20

I’m sure you’ve all seen one of these in your lifetime. It’s been sitting in our shed and now it’s had a coat of paint and will be put up for sale. It’s a boot last and the cobbler’s essential piece of equipment I guess. The piece...

Today's workshop find

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 4 May 20

We have been spending just an hour a day tidying up the workshop but today we no sooner got started than you had a downpour of rain which kept us there for well over our hour. We got nearly two inches of rain so the grass will...

More treasures from the workshop

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 3 May 20

While cleaning out the workshop, we keep coming across bits and pieces that we thought we’d lost or that we’d forgotten about. These three rulers were my father’s. They are extendable and I’m sure they were very useful before the...

I’ve shared that we’ve been cleaning out and tidying up our workshop. Various treasures are coming to light and one was this cast-iron pot. There are also two cast iron skillets. As might be expected, these are incredibly heavy....

We have made a start cleaning out and tidying up our workshop. We have quite a big shed some distance down in the paddock and a smaller workshop nearer the house. Mostly we keep it relatively tidy but over the last few years it’s...

This is another of our power tools which has had a lot of use. Here, it is called a ‘thicknesser’ or planer. Wooden boards are fed through the machine and the blades in the machine shave off the top layer of timber, giving a...

I think we need to tidy up our workshop

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Apr 20

Here is our workshop. I know it looks a mess. I could say it looks worse than it is but I’m not sure that would be true. Vince is pondering about something; we have a length of pine ready to be cut into pieces with the cut-off saw...
