One problem is that we sometimes have a visiting Jack Russell called Tanjai, who spends the day in our yard while her mistress, my sister in law, is at work, and she likes to dig up the vege garden! So, my wife asked me for a fence. A couple of hours later I gave her this! And also to make a new desk, and to make an Advent Calendar Tree. On Be ca...

Oh, the problem with my MacBook seems to have fixed itself after spending several weeks sitting without power in it, it now works beautifully again! I’m so very happy with the finished result.

Dave & Nok’s Blog. December 5, 2016. Last year my lovely wife made me a scrapbook style advent calendar. This year I decided to make one for her, but out of the recycled fence panels I’ve been using for other projects, like the Double Spring Pole Lathe. Combined with that I scoured the internet for vintage and retro style Christmas card images, making sure there was a strong Aussie presence in there! Anyway, I made this not sure if she would like the rustic aspect of it, but she loved it, YAY! There wasn...
