Show us the stuff you made pic's required ...

Not bad at all. It’s not hard to slap together a very capable coal fired forge, a truck brake drum and ya mrs hair dryer or ya leaf blower. Done. :sunglasses:

Made this to have some fun with on christmas day, young and old will be fair game… lol

Btw. Before anyone freaks out about a loaded marshmallow crossbow balancing on its trigger it’s not a live marshmallow, it’s a Styrofoam replica lol… Safety first. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :rofl:

That’s fantastic

Works way better than I thought it would, can’t wait to see how it goes with some of that blue or black exercise band stuff they have at physio. :smiling_imp:

I hope you’re going to line everyone up and see how many mouths you can shoot marshmallows into :grin:

Absolutely, everyone will have to have a turn to see how many mouth shots (or most likley, bouncing of foreheads etc… lol) scored. When the youngings have a crack you can try and catch it in ya gob (hopefully they get the bug for shooting), but it’s serious comp all the way for the big kids lol…
Should be a good laugh, I’ll start stockpiling marshmallow rounds tomorrow lol. :rofl: :beers:
Btw… I should add, I’ve an ulterior motive, as I’ll be taking a bunch of christmas paper wrapped licence application forms to hand out to anyone that “enjoyed shooting” , seriously what better gift ehh… !!.. :sunglasses: :beers:

At the request of @darwindingo, below are some photos and videos of the things that my wife makes to pass the day.

This one is a Hobbit house, the top lifts off and you can see all the rooms and furniture etc.

A couple of violins.

She also made a larger version to put her air pistol in.

I honestly don’t know.
All I can tell you is that it wasn’t for my good looks or money and I am definitely not hung like John Holmes so my best guess is that she is being punished from deeds that she done in another life lol.

They’re awesome mate, I’m also very impressed.
I remember thinking “why the fuck would you share with her” when you decked out the reloading room, now I’m wondering why she lets you reload in her chic shed.

So, we’ve had this block wall in the middle of a paddock since we bought the property. It used to be a hit-up wall at the back of a tennis court apparently. With the Covid shutdown and the crops all going well I decided it would be a chance to use it as a start to a “basic” shelter for the wifes horses.
What started out to be a rough bush pole and skillion structure took on a life of it’s own. I soon decided that it would be better to make it bigger, put a gable roof up instead, maybe mill some timber instead of using poles,…
