Unfortunately I have to go to a business meeting at 7am, but I'll be heading off from Melb around 10am.mick_762 wrote:Should get there earlyish Saturday morning.
Bought the Gorilla bench, and bits. Will I get it done in time?

Hi Trevort,
Sorry to say I probably won't make the weekend.
As you may be aware my FIL passed recently
We have a large family gathering happening over the weekend so
I'm thinking that's going to take up my time.
Thanks for going to the trouble of organising this.
I hope you all have a great weekend and the weather is kind.
Regards
All
Teepee

Just got to paint the top, and screw it together.

I went with 12mm MDF. It keeps the weight down and u don't plan on sitting on the edge anyhow.
You'll see this weekend. Unfortunately I may be later in Friday than planned. I have to more work to do that morning. I should be there mid-arvo.

Should be ok using MDF as long give everything a good coat of 3 of paint, don't forget the edges and underneath.

You shouldn't have any concerns about overheating barrels during the day - I checked the forecast daily max temps for the Landsborough area over the weekend and they are around 5-6 degrees C!

Yep, it's getting painted today. I can always upgrade it later.Camel wrote:Should be ok using MDF as long give everything a good coat of 3 of paint, don't forget the edges and underneath.

Hey mate no worries
I have the block, I have the shed. I like going there
The only "effort" has been to invite you guys.
I'm sure we will do it again sometime
