Re: new build in werribee

Pizza is a bit like beer. All good just some better than others. The combinations are endless!

Re: new build in werribee

Yeah but I get hung up on one style then another then another then back, then on to another. You're spot on though. Many combinations indeed.

Re: new build in werribee

So where am I up to........?

Still no action.
Last piece of puzzle still at potter's.
Been doing lots of other bits and pieces



OH

Partner and I bought our 2nd house this year so may have 2 ovens to build now.
We will be moving into this one however.

have loaded some pictures and the site plan there . location suggestions needed and welcomed.
Remember the backyard over looks 1st, 6th and 18th tee of a golf course (I think)

Re: new build in werribee

Just a thought from experience...

An infinity pool located above the pond or water trap which overlooks the golf course. Maybe a seat from which you could watch the play?

Lancer

Thx but the land only goes as far as the plan indicates. The whole property is only about 12 meters wide.

And

Wow that looks nice, maybe I need to move to Philippines.

Re: new build in werribee

Ah, ya...no pool. I guess then my only suggestion is that whatever you do build do without too many right angles. Also, try to avoid lava lamp shapes.

I once ate pizza at a place called Dino's in Miami. Small round table for 4 so when the large pizza arrived we were kind of wondering where the waitress was going to put it. Well the water glasses were the tallest thing on the table, she set the pizza on top. That way they could fit more tables in a small space, perfect for your patio of the new property...

You can do a lot of things here that would cost a fortune elsewhere even if still possible. Things are slowly changing however.

That pic must have been not too long after a storm, otherwise the ocean water is clear as glass.

Re: new build in werribee

Still no joy. Decorative keystone fired, need to pick up and then finish, got some new sails and installed these. Not like Sharkey I get wet.

Now I just need some dedicated weekends. It WILL happen. Started coping some wood I acquired, son got the urge to have a go and hasbroken 2 Bunning block splitters . Returned first one to Bunning they replaced Anne one. Soon split up 3 more blocks handle then split. I returned this to Bunning today and thought that's it and bought a Fiskars x27 $139 had to tip in about $ 37 after price match of 110 less 10% less refund on dud .

Son will be happy. Let's see if he can break this one ?

I hope you find it in your heart to return to the forum one day.

Re: new build in werribee

Well I decided my 12 piece jigsaw puzzle door was jot going to cut it for cooking the Xmas feast.

So I made a temp door using 50mm hebel block, some ply I had laying around, couple of cheap handles and stainless steel. Only took a couple of hours and will test it over the weekend.

I also made a sheet metal brake to make some tools. Works well. Just need to weld the handle on once I learn how to.

Re: new build in werribee

Nothing happening down here but will start on the surrounds over the next week.
Finish render on oven over next 2 days.
If time, will etch new version of decorative finish.
Have a go at the high build rendering of the Hebel Base.

Hi Colin

I also built a sheet metal brake to make life easier in making tools and doors and things. It was something that I should have made a decade ago. Am now looking forward to making door MKII since folding an inner and outer section and fitting them over insulation should be much easier and neater.

I used the leftover angle from the lintel above the door in the block base of the oven. I knew it would come in handy one day.

My 35 year old CIGWELD 140 was recently swapped for a small inverter arc welder and it works a treat, weighs 5kg, starts the arc much easier and would thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of buying one. They are relatively cheap as well. The big green shed has a couple of levels of them.

My goal for the year is to find someone who can teach me to use a MIG/TIG.

Re: new build in werribee

Hi Steve

Nice brake. Your lucky you can weld. I bought a welder 12 months ago (tig, mig and arc its a smoother unit ) had a go at tig first, blew bloody great big holes in scrap SS sheet. Have found a guy at a mens shed that will assist in teaching me. Just need to get there.

Be interested in some pics of door and tools you have made with it.
