    Don't encourage me, I just moved some stuff on.....

    My HBM has now made it into the shed and has moved up the project queue what with the Monarch taper adaptor parts being made & installed. I still need to get the Smith-Drum out & gone and possibly another mill gone yet. Still, the fibreglass layer went on the boat cabin top today and as soon as it's fully cured can be sanded back. A few hatches and the thing is waterproof and could be ejected if necessary. Getting there.

    I would say you would get a sinking feeling if it was not water proof...

    I admire environmental vandalism on an industrial scale. Congratulations. Makes our recent efforts in burning off a few acres pale into insignificance.

    If only I could work out a way to get a channel dug though the tidal flats out the front of my place, I could save thousands in crane & truck fees getting my boat out of here. Alas, those days are gone and the people telling me we'd get a metre of sea level rise any day now lied through their teeth.

    Well that got listed on grays quicker then I expected.. They have been trying to sell them privately for a short time... Going to be a bit of interest with the ancillary equipment..

    Hmmmm - I am in Sydney that week. Perhaps it might be entertaining to go along and take a look.

    Hey RC,

    That's just down the road from me. Sadly, I am under quite strict instructions from SWMBO to finish the shed rather than buy tools. I pointed out to her that not everyone is lucky enough to have an owl living in their shed. This has not seemed to help my cause. Alas.

    Cheers

    Ahh yes, but when will the next 630 X 1000 sized granite plate come up that is immaculate and within a daily driving distance.. Especially a seller that might meet you halfway and swap it over...

    Also do not forget to get something like this freighted up from Melbourne where they all usually reside would cost probably around $400..

    If I were you I would bid on that item... Not that I have any interest in it as it is some anonymous ebay seller.
