New week ahead… Time to get some stuff done!

CONGRATULATIONS to Rachael Haskard, who is the lucky winner of the “guess how many screws” competition. Rachael guessed 137, and the correct answer is….. *drum roll please*.

134.

There’s 134 screws in this open shelf unit. Not including the BOLTS that hold the wheels to the metal frame.

For those who said biscuits and glue, you weren’t completely wrong, as there is 42 holding the shelves to the upright divisions. Adding those to the 134 screws makes for a set of shelves that will last a lifetime! 🤗

Rachael, could you please shoot the Red Jay page a DM, so I can organise to get the gift card to you. 🥳

Thanks to all those who played. Shall we do another one next month?

COMPETITION TIME!!

Can you guess how many screws have been used to assemble this shelving unit?

Clue: Screws aren’t all that’s been used, but I’m only wanting you to guess how many screws have been used.

Closest guess wins a $50 Bunnings gift card.

Winner announced next Friday June 5th at 6pm.

Get guessing in the comments* ⬇️⬇️⬇️

GOOD LUCK! 🍀

Something a little different today.
Working on a mobile storage rack for my new workshop.
I’ve always loved welding and fabrication, and seriously considered getting into it professionally for a period. Now it’s more of a hobby, and I thoroughly* enjoy my time on the welder. 👨‍🏭

* in Summer, not so much. 🥵

Lest We Forget

Well, that’s the IT sorted. My trusty laptop has been with me my entire cabinet making career (9 years this year), and it was definitely due for an upgrade.
The brief for a new machine was simple: “It has to be powerful, and make a visual impact”.

I think it’s fair to say, Robbie from In4mative Tech Solutions absolutely nailed it.
This new custom-built machine not only performs better than any PC I’ve ever used, it looks like a work of art.

Service, knowledge backup when you need it.
Thanks Robbie for giving Red Jay the absolute goods in IT solutions every time.

Another one from “The big green shed” installed and handed back to the builder to do the flooring and tile the splash back. Really nice, clean looking, functional kitchen. 👌🏻

Smiling (albeit like a crazy person) in the eye of the storm!

Appreciation post for all of my wonderful clients and their patience while I juggle a broken ute, dead computer and moving into a bigger workshop all at the same time!

I’m burning the candle at both ends to keep up but I will be standing in the sunshine before you can say: “Hi Rus, I’m just seeing how that quote is going?!”
