    Whinge of the day thread...

    So Big Bad Bush...are you now band from gas bottle refilling at BCF, nursing a black eye and eating cold cornflakes rather than a BBQ'ed steak or, just embarrassed about your childish lack or control over your emotions, inability to understand reason and, an apparent sense of entitlement to...

    Dear members, I have had some further enquires re availability of my device. I have recommenced making them and they are available, from now on, via a well known Newcastle outlet. However, there are just two left on eBay, the very last available on that platform.

    How Peacekeeper makes up a Crevicing Device

    Today I made a video of what I did the day before. The video is a detailed step by step on how I make my Crevicing Devices for those who like making stuff themselves. I wanted to upload it here but it's way too large so, I will upload it to YouTube here:

    Today I MADE

    This is "Ellie", the Spirit of Ecstasy from the front of my car. Note she was gold plated, which is kind of fitting for this site! However, I prefer Ellie to be in her original state, a stainless steel alloy made from steel, chromium and nickel. Took quite a bit of elbow grease to polish the...

    Today I MADE

    Thanks Simmo, with the metal work near done it's body prep next, my least favorite part of a resto. Changing colour so all doors, boot and bonnet off with rear window coming too. Good thing is they are all aluminium so much lighter than they look and being big chunky things, bolts, hinges etc...

    Today I MADE

    Today I only spent half the day working on the car. One of the last rust repairs to do was a small section at the lower leading edge of the front right guard/wheel arch. This time, I took photos of how I make up a small but complex shape by welding two or more sections of sheet steel together...

    Today I MADE

    Good evening all, whilst dinner is cooking, here is how the days' work turned out. Pretty happy with the results, got most of it smooth with file and sanding so not much filler work required. I'm a happy lad!

    Today I MADE

    Today should see the finish of repairs to the rear right quarter and sill section, complete inner and outer panels and some internal sections are being done here as the rust was effecting most of it. Not too challenging this one as larger sections are easier to remove completely, duplicate and...

    Today I MADE

    There is a lot of lead wiping on this car and filler as they were hand finished. Lead is a pain when welding as it makes a weld burn and blow holes, you have to remove at all from where you are repairing. I suppose there are people still lead wiping as it is stable and doesn't contract at all...

    Today I MADE

    'Today I Made' , looks all forlorn and forgotten so...since I like making things and have a few projects going, I will share a bit. One project I have recently started is a major resto of my late fathers car. Poor old thing has been neglected for a while and didn't get looked after so well in...

    GOLD PROSPECTING HAND CREVICE PUMP - ADAPTS DIRECTLY TO STD 50 MM YABB

    To answer a few enquiries, yes I am still making these attachments. I have made very few during the last 2 years for obvious reasons but if anyone wants one, just search on eBay as I dont think selling or promoting new gear here on PA articulates with the site rules. Thanks for your...

    Not so much an introduction.

    Good afternoon PA folks. I'm pleased to say that after quite a leave of absence, I'm back into it again and will be out and about in my old haunts around Bathurst and Nundle from here on. Yep, with the rivers being up 'n' down like yoyos this year, I am very keen to see replenishment and any...
