AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE...
Mick
Oi oi oi...
Man you must be bored! :-)
But never fear first Tuesday shave club pour une is here.
Not bored Ed, just puttin' the call out. Aussies know what I mean. :) Screaming out Aussie Aussie Aussie is the same as when the natives of this land stand on top of an ant hill with a bull roarer swinging. Like Highlander, it's a calling of the brethren. Like Owain Glyndŵr uniting the tribes to a single cause. Like knocking on your neighbours door just to see if anybody's home...:)

Seem to remember john Howard doing it once, anyway I thought it was coooooeeee.
Should get in practice so that after I've had the pie put in, I will be good at it.:-)
No mate. That's only when you're lost in the bush! Aussie Aussie Aussie is more like a rallying call, a War Cry to gather the troops...And I once used it to locate three British girls at Disneyland over in the US ;)
Mick
And then what ????.......:wQuote:

Mick
Awesome stuff !!
QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!!!!!
ADAAAAAAAAAM! MAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!
Bit quiet around here these days isn't it?
Mick
I'm just an O'l Yankee...but a proud supporter of my Aussie friends. Good folk ta have on yer side.
What's all this shouting? Some of us old cantankerous Aussies are trying to take a nanna nap here.
James.
Noice to know you've joined us again Mick. :p
Yeah yeah! I got nagged back into the place. And I was only gonna stop by for that day but it's been a whole week...And what do I find. No Aussies in the Down under forum at all.
And so young James, that is the reason for all the shouting. You dozey buggers have gone and slacked off in my absence. :)
Mick
Still trying to get used to these new fangled computer thingys.
don't have one of my own. don't even carry a mobile phone contraption all the time either.
Just not one of those techno people.
BUT, i am still around. Working slowly and awkwardly-shoulder stuffed from bike accident and has not healed properly yet. Now on light duties at work and physio, etc. Still refurbishing razors albeit one handed, and making strops and brushes {what was that old Chop Socky flick? One Armed Swordsman? }. :jedi:
Stand by for pics in a few days. Should have a set finished this weekend.

Ha! i liked the case Mate.
I made one for my phone out of Kydex, lined inside with felt. Will have to take a pic of that for you.
Sets i finished i posted in the Custom thread yonks ago. Still working on some others when i get a chance. Family dramas and working away from home have meant no time in the workshop for nearly two months. Got a backlog of knife sharpening and a bunch of razors that have been cleaned up but need new scales..... let alone getting time and money to get that grinder build done... this week we have a bunch of kids coming to stay for a couple weeks - maybe after that i can get something done.. sigh. and the Missus has kicked up a big stink about pipe smoking, so i don't even get that pleasure anymore.. :boohoo:
You'll just have to sneak out the back for a quiet smoke when she isn't looking. Mans gotta have something to keep him sane when not in the workshop! :)
Mick
It's time to build a small shed/mancave I'de reckon .Quote:

That is awesome ! You have so much space. Enjoy
nice space Ogre
my whole bench space / work area would fit under your fridge
nothing worked on under 10/8" so you don't loose it in there LOL
Yeah I am a pretty lucky lad, she lets me have a heap of space :D...the bench is 3 metres long. On the immediate left is a space the same size that I use storing and drying dive gear.Quote:

Mick
I will try and take a pic of my shed later, now that is cluttered.Quote:

My 4k/8K showed up today...I have one hell of a sharp razor. Don't know if I have the balls to try my family heirloom razor on it.
O
That just smacks of too much organisation for it to be a proper shed! :)Quote:

So is this a proper shed then Mick?
Being a Canadian...a shed is a actually the ugly little tin thing I keep the garden tools and the mower in. I call the clean one the shop. ;)
O
For a bag lady, definitely! :)Quote:

Ahhh...well it can only be pronounced that way in the Southern Hemisphere...if you try in the Northern Hemisphere you will fall over into convulsions screaming "I LOVE HOCKEY!!"Quote:

There's a good wiki page that explains it all.
