New and Improved Zoot Cave

Post by Allen » Mon Jan 28, 2008 5:20 pm

I've had a busy long weekend. Braced the Engelman top that is going on the second Qld. Walnut Petite Jumbo. Made a fret board, shaped and fitted a neck, glued up the fret board and peg head veneer, 1/2 finished the bridge for the first PJ, laminated and then scarf joined the neck for the 2nd PJ, bought some pine shelving from Bunnies and cleaned up my dry room. Oh....and drank a fair bit of beer 'cause it's the Aussie thing to do. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Any way, here's a picture of the "Improved Zoot Cave"

I'm starting to acquire a bit of a stash and lots more on the way, so I needed a way of cleaning up the room and getting some floor space back. I though I would have heaps of shelving space, but perhaps not.

Allen,

First things first, was it Cairns Draught? I was on the Coopers Draught,

Nice looking stash, I got the back on #1 and started the finishing.

Nope, since they closed up the brewery here and put in a Harvey Normans, I don't think they've sold a slab up here. I've been on the barb wire lately, though I'm not religious about it. As long as it's less than 32 degrees it's good to go. :lol:

Allen - I hardly think drinking barb wire would be a religious experience. :lol: :lol: :lol: but obviously a great reward after a good weekends work.

Looking good in there mate.

I heard back from Ameritage as well and had to send off a tracing. Did they get back to you?

Bob
