What I Make (or used to)

[Wood Butcher]

These are some photos of the work I used to do. For anyone not in the know they are "Smokers" used by beekeepers. Everything bar the fasteners is made from flat sheet. I use to press all of the components out and assemble them. Dad has the only production plant in Australia for these and we are damn proud of the finished product.

Hi Rowan,

Have you any pics of those machines?

I love woodie stuff, but also have real liking for mechanical thingshttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon11.gif
