Dad is already on it handy a master welder at home.

Has he yet welded up the Kitchen table & chairs, The Lounge suite & the card table, & working his magic towards the front of the house, OOPS, there goes the Wardrobe & now the Dressing Table, the Hall Stand, will he ever stop?


Re Instant Coffee. One would think that noted coffee blenders, Nestles, Pablo ( chunder) could get their heads together & not put floor sweepings from the factory floor, washroom & dunny into their supposedly highly esteemed [their words] rubbish.

I could never get Woodcraft rods to flow well.

Preservative added ones don't Ian, you must get the Preservative free ones. Some have tried Balsa but that only leaves a weak weld but Iron bark is supposedly pretty good.

Oh, a cool flame is essential as well, in fact no flame of any sort is preferable.

Other Australian timbers don't seem very Poplar.

Dig coffee grinds into the garden, it makes excellent fertiliser.

I've also used dried used coffee grinds in amidst carrots and parsnips to stop or reduce carrot fly damage. I still get the pesty bastards but where I scatter grind anecdotally seems less damage. Darker roasts stay stronger smelling for longer but I haven't really tried any other roasts to tell if it is the roast or the bean that is the deterrent. I usually dry out the grinds after a use in the plunger. Once dried, it is mixed in with carrot seed before planting out - works OK and makes it sort of easier to to get a even distribution of seed when hand-casting the seed. I also work just a bit in to the soil before planting the seed. Once the tops are emerging and small baby carrots are forming, a bit of a scattering in amongst the tops seems to work too.

Much prefer my cha, old chap! Pot infused, of course. Teabags are used when camping, though and for visitors.
