Watching 2010 draw to a close has been more rewarding than many end-of-years: I can’t say I’m sorry to see the end of it. Not making any new year’s resolutions either – no point making any that I am unlikely to keep, and what what can be done, will be done without some (personally) false [...]

For a long time, years in fact, I have intended to take some photos of the shed neat, finished (or at least as far as whatever development I had been working on was concerned), but it never happens. It has taken as long to come to the realisation that it never will. It isn’t that [...]

The Australian dollar is holding above the US, which makes it an excellent time for buying imported products (including buying directly over the internet). Oh the temptation! It may seem strange being excited that the Australian dollar is a whole 1c above the US dollar, but when you consider it can be (and has) as [...]

SSYTC31 The Coffee Cup Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), MPEG-4 Video (.m4v) A coffee cup, given to me by the Roving Reporter which has received an unusual surface treatment. I won’t give it away – watch the video. Pretty cool (especially in person) in any case.

10 months ago, I took what was meant to be a small break from the Stu’s Darkroom site as I headed over to Denver, Colorado Sadly, what was intended to be a week delay turned into something else – 2010 has been insane. Time to get this thing jump started again and get some old, [...]

During a bit of an end-of-year shed cleanup, I noticed the Dremel hanging on the mounting hook ready for the flex drive to be connected to it, and to the Beall Pen Wizard. I needed to shorten the Foredom holder so the Dremel Flex Drive head could extend far enough through to be usable. It [...]

Merry Christmas from Stu’s Shed. My wife and daughter worked out the perfect gift for me/ Stu’s Shed when they don’t really know what I have out there: Chocolate Tools! Hope everyone got something interesting under the tree.

So the furniture arrived, and the blinds have also gone up pretty easily as well. All just in time for Christmas. I foresee plenty of relaxing out there! Had ‘fun’ with the courier (Kings) for the furniture – they apparently pickup, and drive to the destination, but then expect you to unload their truck (or [...]

A couple of video links that came through to me – one insane, one funny. The first is hard to believe: how did the rider get away with it – without getting thrown in jail, without killing himself. A few points in the video you can hear him actually hit the cars he is passing. [...]

Thou art adorned with trinkets. Got this Christmas tree card (sent out to subscribers) from Ideal Tools. Now this is my sort of tree! Not so sure about the red and yellow ornaments, but those green ones definitely look like something I’d like seen wrapped under my tree! (And then in my shed )

You know the line, used in infomercials without number to try to get the vulnerable buyer across the line of the sale. But sometimes the steak knives are the sale, not some throwaway added bonus. Had a nice lunch with Grahame and Michael from Professional Woodworkers Supplies today, and got an early Xmas present – [...]

Started off with a bit of a test with the first blind to see how they went up, work out the best way of doing it. There is nothing too complicated at all about it, but still there are always little refinements to make the job easier. Tried Google on “how to install bistro blinds” [...]
