My Friday

Post by kiwigeo » Fri May 11, 2012 10:24 pm

Today I headed down the south coast to Port Elliott to pick up some wood from Ashley Sanders. Had a great day....spent an hour in Ashley's workshop discussing his current builds and other matters and then it was up to the shops to grab some fish and chips and we then ate same down by the bay while discussing the merits of different glues.

Not a bad day at all..... thanks Ash for your hospitality and for sharing some of your expertise with this rank amateur.

Was that a discussion on which glue best held the batter to the fish? :wink: My pick would be fish glue in that circumstance.

Funnily enough Ashley was talking about fish glue.

Hmmm, well, I've surreptitiously placed prawns inside hubcaps before, butthat requires no adhesives.....

I'll keep it in mind for future revenge-related issues :wink:
