New Sheath for a very Special Knife

 

 

School Woodwork Bench

A couple of months back, I got this woodwork bench for R150. The local school was emptying an old storage room to make space for another classroom. The last time I worked on one of these was in grade 9, in Mr Helgard Du Preez's woodwork class.(27 years ago) It still looks the same, only smaller than I remember and this one is painted a "not to be missed", green color.

 

The top of the bench has lots of caracter, created by schoolboys working on all sorts of woodwork projects. Years and years of taking punishment and abuse.

 

The bench-vice's were all detached from the benches, lying on a pile and in bad condition.

First cleaned it with a high pressure water sprayer.

Replaced the old wooden parts in the vice with new ones.

Then started with the grease and oil on all the moving parts.

The bench-vice is running smooth now.

 

Also fitted a new lock hinge for the cupboard.

Silencer for Howa .243

Decided it was time to put a silencer on my Howa .243

Jors joined me with one for his Howa .308

Playing with Camo Wrap

Could not longer resist to buy myself some of this:

 

Partially covered my Howa .243

Must say, I like the stuff.

 

 

There was a small piece left and I put it on this knife's handle 

Repaird 3 Legged Camp Chair

This nice little chair of mine's material was starting to tear apart.

 

Decided to replace the seat with leather.

The places where the poles stick into, I did with rugged leather from a welding clove.

 

 

Stitched a small overlap on the sides

 

 

 

Replaced the rubbers at the bottom of the legs. Like new !!
