But this could be something for FenceFurnitire in years to come
So I have been in Melbourne the last coupke of days in what could be al ost a jungle. Apparently only 10% of the vegetation is still here and we had to replace the fence
There was a slight technical difficulty with some holes. The ground is hard as clay which feels like it os the result of a 100 yr drought with whatalmist seems to be shale thrown in for good measure. Not sure what happened but one could be forgiven for thinking that some of these were dug on the wrong side of the line?
There was no way of backing a four whrel drive in and dragging these across so it was an old fashioned crow bar job. Surprisingly we had it fixed rather quick. Ince the posts were set it was time to get the plinth in. Managed an overall straight line over two sections. Then mark out the rails using a template and cut them out
This was wood work at its finest. Out with a brass backed dovetail saw and cut the shoulders and then prear out the the chek out to recieve the the rail and sand the flush surfaces to 600 finish. Oh! Some ine slap me! I'm dreaming!
Bang bang with the circular saw and belt with the hammer. A swift blow ofrom one side and and then the other and you can do away with the use of a chisel.
