Haha you got me Mr Silver :lol:
Has been rectified now

Thanks Mackka, Pete and Manpa.
Its enjoyable turning something old and unused, into something new again.
Great inspiration to be found in these pages too :Y:

Fossiker, is that the only way you'll eat veggies?

Had a productive day in the shed today, knocked out two speedboats, one supertanker and a glider. Tail still drying on the glider, will throw up some pics tomorrow. (Needed to by wood for the glider wing only, everything else still scraps)

Wrong bloody thread should be in today i cooked. To many beers.

Still very creative none the less. layful:

One brass cannon turned. Nice warm shed, cuppa soup, comfy chair and some tunes. It's good to have machines that do the work while you watch. I'm in no condition to strain and stress at the moment. Keeps my bugs away from others too. Still pretty drained though. I'll do the other one on another day.









I came up with an inventive way to slot the cannon sections by clamping my Dremel with an end mill bit in it. Indexing achieved by working out circumference of chuck and dividing by the number of slots. Glued on an indicator needle point.

Yesterday's toys

Nice work-for some lucky kids to enjoy.

Well not in one day. Knocked down the old timber fence & had a new one installed. My bit , build a house for the water pump.
not quite finished. Cheers.

One cannon completed, slots all indexed in and finished to a high polish.
Started the second cannon tonight.











In between everything else, I have slowly been building form and detail on the wings. They look a bit rough at this stage, but they get better with every session I spend on them.

This topic has me floored! Some of the craftsmanship on display is exceptional. Wooden toys made with love, damascus blades etched with eye catching patterns, sturdy new sheds, spice racks, someones dinner, it's all genuinely fantastic artisanal items.

I regret not having a creative bone in my body but everyone here should be proud as hell at what theyve created.

Also is that a Viper I see coming together Sandbagger?
