Your a bloody goer aren't you. Are you going to climb out of that hull on christmas day, or are you going to put up a christmas tree in there, and bring your kids and missus in? If you pick up the pace a bit you'll be able to get the motor in and the engine covers. then you'll have somewhere to put the christmas cake!
Anyhoo, I enjoy your posts, but do take some time out to spoil those little tackers (kids) of yours. They dont stay that way for long. Compliments of the season.
Regards, Lynn.

Hi Lynn, there is one thing I,m sure of. I will not be in the shed on xmas day unless I want my testicles removed with a kitchen knife .But it is good to see progress and my kids will and are a bit spoiled but thets what you do for them.
Merry Xmas everyone.

Now I have to admit I was going to have a shed free day today but my wife has taken the kids to nana's for a little while so thats just enough time to put the last puzzle piece on the back.
Colin.

Hmmm, not exactly a shed free day as I decided to make the water bottle holders. There is 2 on each machine so I made a couple extra while I was at it. Also a pic of the location of them as well.

Lynn, you could be right! Everyone thinks she is one in a million but actually, she was won in a raffle. :wacko
But It was first prize and she's got more patients than a doctor in a sex clinic.
I think those of us with that green disease are very fortunate if you have a patient wife!
Colin.




pretty sure I got out of that one?

Hi everyone, now that xmas is over and we have all over eaten and probably drank, I managed to get a bit of time to do a bit more of the 2 pounder.
The pics are of the hinged wings on each side. The original ones I have are a bit too far gone. Also I took my family fishing and the pic is of me and my little boy andrew and his first fish. I know it's a bit off the topic but thats what proud fathers do. (good onya son!)
Colin.

Hmmm, now that looks like interesting reading lynn, but it is definately not me.
Although, I think a half day would see me out as a car salesman too!

Hi all, a couple of parts completed today. They are the top saddles that hold the barrel in position.
