Those coal washing baskets are pretty popular up this way. But you need a friend in the industry to get one usually.

While searching for different wood finishing techniques to use on my next project, I came across this. Might be of interest to some.

Building a burner is on the cards.
Is there a wood working thread as such? Did a search and didnt find anything.

Since the school started this ipad for every student thing i have replaced about 6 screens due to the usual dropping of them onto hard surfaces, wifes friends kid has had the screen replaced 3 times by me already.
 Not a difficult job but the quality of the adhesive on screens from various sources leaves a lot to be desired.

Why don't you get one of those tough combat covers. My daughter has one for her school IPad. It has bounced of the trampoline, dropped off the kitchen bench and not a mark on it.

If they're being broken that frequently, it's probably a good idea that they're easy to get off!

Maybe just velcro them in place from here on in :D >:D

have a look at a Gecko Rugged protector.  They make a variety for various gear, and are very good.

Well not in the shed, but on the kitchen table. I got this old beast cleaned up and working today. Needs a couple of minor tweeks, but it works well. 1976 vintage Technics Tuner Amp SA-5150.

If you think that one is old, here is a Pioneer SM-Q300 Valve job that I picked up a few months back, that I hope to restore sometime. Note the date on the paper clipping.
The last pic is what it will end up looking like.......... hopefully... lol

one thing wrong with going to the beach in Winter.... it's bloody cold getting under the vehicle to hose all that sand and salt out when you get home. I needed to stand in the sun for about 20 minutes the other weekend trying to warm my feet back up after doing my fourby, they were freezing cold...lol...it doesn't seem as bad a job to do in Summer.
