    Today I MADE

    so I tried the etching on the first big "Letter Opener" I made awhile ago seems to have worked out ok, but it seems you need to do the etching on the clear smooth surfaces, I tried a test run of a piece of the dimpled steel and it did not seem to work

    Selling gold - how, why, where

    This is my kiln and setup, it pours 2 oz bars and the kiln made from Hebel Block they do wear out and disintegrate eventually from the heat, but for the cost of $13 for a block 600x200x200 and you can make several out to it anyway

    Today I MADE

    and a little bit of Mig Dip in the back of the mig tip helps the wire feed a bit better for a little while, usually cleaning the mig tip with a tip cleaner also works wonders 🤔🤫

    Whinge of the day thread...

    hey sand surfer, I reckon the butcher is going to do good, and if everyone started to use them, the big supermarkets might wake up, I know that is a big ask, but if their meat stayed on the shelves, well you get the idea :)

    Selling gold - how, why, where

    you can do it either way, sell to a refinery be it Perth mint or PW Beck, they all take native gold nuggets or fine panning sluiced gold or melted into "Buttons", it makes no difference to them as they refine whatever you send to 9999 pure, and either pay you for the actual gold that they refine...

    Roadside detecting is it legal?

    Depends if you can convince "THEM" that your only looking for coins and relics, otherwise if looking for minerals/gold etc you will need a Miners right if in VIC and you might even be on a live exploration lease or mining lease etc and need the mining companies permission, even on the edge of a road

    I bought a few of Jims gold CD's the Tibooburra one is good, so are the WA ones, but like everything most of the areas are live leases and need to get 40E or permissions

    Sign Of The Times

    there were no home invasions in Australia way back then when people were allowed to have firearms in the house, it is the governments that turned us in to a bunch of softies and telling us that the authorities would protect us 🤔
