What did you do in your shed / man cave today?

[kylarama]

Couple squirts of silicone should fix that up.

Bit more than a squirt for these ones.

I had to replace the rear diff on the Old Girl , bloody thing locked up on me when I was passing a roadtrain the other day , was not a good feeling been a little sideways looking at the wheels of the roadtrain at a $1.20.

While I was replacing the diff I fitted a new set of rotors and pads to her as well .

A bit of cheek clenching of the seat covers would have been included in your driving technique at the time, I imagine.

Got a little bit further with the kitchen today. I'm wanting to use an oil finish, possibly decking oil or Tung oil, but I'm worried it won't hold in the wood putty like a varnish or urethane coating will. Has anyone had any experience, positive or negative, using decking oil to seal their ply kitchen?

[Kangaron]

To keep it water/stain proof I'd use a wood stain then a oil based varnish.
I did one years ago and it is still as new.

[Cruiser 105Tvan]

That looks bloody marvelous Kanga.
Well done.

[grafy82]

Wow. That looks very nice, thanks Kanga.

[glenm64]

Nice work fellas

Cheers Glen

[Bird]

Nice work... they both look heavy... are they?

[Kangaron]

Very, used ours for a year or so and gave it to a mate living in his shed whilst building a house.
Is now in his camper.
We went back to basics with everything.
Now even further, back to an Oztent RV4

Thats not back, going back to an RV1 is back  and as quick to put up and down as they say

Can you get them in anti-insect Yellow?

[Troopy_03]

Can you get them in anti-insect Yellow?

No, but you can spray them with Aeroguard... 

[Cruiser 105Tvan]

Pay that one Troopy_03.

Won't achieve much, but you can still do it.

Did you do a complete rewire, mine have pretty lightweight wiring? I have screwed the top cap of, how did you get to the solder joint inside?
Cheers

didn't solder...

just cut the alligator clips off, stripped the wires (which were thin), folded them back on themselves a few times, then crimped (i have the proper anderson powerpole crimp tool)...

i add a bit of heatshrink with glue lining to strengthen the plug area... have done that for other lights i have done and it works a treat...

Ok, fitted mine with dimmer switches using the original wire, pretty thin as you said. I added additional wiring and merit plugs for my CT. Might run some split cable protection on them now after seeing yours
Thanks

got magnets of fleaybay and fitted to LED work lights, had some plugs that match the LED camp lights.

So your the one with the lights.
I knew it was someone out your way, I can read a book by the excess that I get here.

Nice. Is the blue a resin of some sort?

Yeah Matt, its a pigment added to the resin.
Took me 2 goes to get it right. First attempt I poured it over the surface and screeded it off.
Only problem is because its its Norfolk Pine its a soft wood and it leached into some porous areas. Screeding off is fine on hard woods normally.
Had to sand off about 5mm to get rid of the discoloration.
Ended up using syringes to fill the burns. Time consuming to say the least.
Found a 3 fork tree branch I might use as the base.

another quick addition to the french cleats in the garage...

the boys are using small rubber bouncy balls for handball at school and at home, and are acquiring them at a fast rate of knots...

came up with a way to try and tidy them a bit, instead of finding them everywhere, stashed around the house...

got the idea from the old stubby cooler holders that are scattered around the place...
