Nice job looking! :Y:

How do you get the handle pipe to fit inside the step down adaptor? I would have thought that the thread would have to be removed, or is the handle pipe 2 steps down in size and easily fits?
 
I took over the dining room and made myself a home office ]:D ..... for working ;)

You're going to have to fill in people like myself Wally??? What is all that stuff?

I'm guessing stuff for working with rocks, gems, etc. Maybe opals? A few tumblers and polishers amongst it? I've really got no idea :D

Hi Dragon Man,

Yeah its smaller so fits in easy, but not too easy :D and not much side ways action. It's a nice handy size for taking out into the Bush and stops me from bring too many rocks home.

No problem NorthEast, :rolleyes: I guess I could take you on a journey back in time and share my accomplishment in context

The bride {) convinced me of buying a house in the city to raise our family :rainbow:

I was duped 8.( into buying a house with a single garage. I love toys and have lots of them :Y: and the garage is full and unusable. Unfortunately my council regulations are man cave unfriendly :mad: and building one is not approvable, 8.( surley this has to be unconstitutional :N:

I recently learnt to facet gemstones :eek: and have actually cut some nice ones :party: :rainbow: :party: the bride {) and family have dug their own rough :rainbow: and I have cut one of these stones, of my sons design, that I intend to set in silver myself. That means, more toys :p so I now have some silversmithing gear as well.

I was allowed to set up my faceting machine in the lounge room, :rolleyes: actually, :8 I set it up under cover of darkness ]:D

All was good for a while :party: :rainbow: :party: and then the accumulation started :cool: I mean essential accumulation of addition accessories :lol: the addition of a second machine was the turning point for knowing I had outgrownand my space :eek:

{) => :brokenh: it all came to an end when I got abused for being too loud during an :rolleyes: important documentary :mad: 8.( :mad: the net result was my mini workshop was in jeopardy of being kicked out of the lounge room. :8

8) what to do :rolleyes: :rolleyes: the answer was obvious. :lol: I need a bigger work desk :Y: 2200x900 should do the trick....that is about the size of the dining room table O:) it will fit just nicely in the lounge room. ]:D

As a side, I separated from my employer and have decided to pursue self employment to get a better work-play balance and I need to set up a home office. :Y: this is when the bride {) steps in and suggests I cant have the dining table for my faceting gear, that we need to relocate it and turn the dining room into an office. :brokenh: => :party: :rainbow: :party:

So, the end result of yesterdays efforts was the relocation of household furniture and the building of a new work bench for the toys :cool: the photo shows my new desk with my faceting and silversmithing gear on it......... :rolleyes: ..... and yes, the other half of the room is set up for my home office.
 
Thanks for the run down Wally! Pretty cool hobby to be able to enjoy.

You're a brave man heading into self employment - good for you and best wishes, I hope it works out for you :Y:
