    Actually Michael i was dead serious about leaving it with Phil, i was only bidding to donate it to the Hill. Too far away for me right now and really a little on the small side.

    You blokes are amazing. Yet again I am humbled.
    My sincere thanks at having a crack, seriously.
    I asked the missus but she is right, we have a couple of important purchases coming up like water storage etc. and I just couldn't argue with the logic.
    Thanks again, I more than appreciate it.

    What is it about Bundaberg.... I have seen quite a bit of engineering stuff come up there... Must be the sugar industry...

    I'm sure that the Trundle working machinery museum will do the right thing and step in and save some of them...

    A good sized travelling head shaper with two slotted tables.
    The entire shaper head moves on the doveltail slide you can see below it and the work tables stay still.
    Looks like you could some big areas on this one!

    Travelling head shaper...

    The work stays stationary.... Shaper head moves in and out and gets fed along..

    Unfortunately the museum operator has put himself on a self imposed ban** for the time being. My list of projects now extends to 2 lifetimes and every year I seem to have less free time. Next project is to build a large shed extension so I can retrieve the various machines I have stored and bring home the stationary engines I have stored on another farm.
