My kid managed to flatten a spoon, so he got the job of fixing it.

He has a cut in th ewood under the spoon and hes hammering the spoon into the space.

Not sure he has the right hammer for this sort of job.

Only one way to learn though...

Er....No.

It might be the shape of an upside down "h", but that doesnt make it a holly.

I dont know what it is, but its not a good hammock tree either.

Its starting to rain again.

I would just like to place all blame on you, No Idea.
My fiancée is currently cutting up tin cans to create a baby hobo stove. She's also eyeing up material to make hammocks.
:D

She has taken some pics, and has just signed up and made an intro post, so I'm sure the pictures will be up fairly soon.

Hes decided that this is the plug.

He wants to know who will put it back in when the tide is out.

Hes done his back brake...

He couldnt get this back together after he pulled it apart thinking it was his other brake.

He got into a bit of a mess threading it.

You dont usuallly have a knot in the cable....

b-dscf3014.jpg


Not quite sure what he did here...

b-dscf3015.jpg


Went and got another cable. He put it together without any more problems.

Im happy with that as he now knows how to do it.

Still feeling utterly exhausted.

I drove them to the harbour and dropped them off.
