Workbench for breakfast

I am so over facebook posts of peoples breakfasts, lunches and/or dinners that I have been tempted to post pictures of the results of my own cullinary adventures about 24hours after the fact (in the porcelainpot)..However… I have decided to post some fairly regular pictures of the state of my workbench instead … So … here are some from yesterday and today .. Also a picture of Dave , Josh and Justin .. the crew from Chanel 10′s “Totaly Wild” show after shooting an interview with myself in the Byron workshop.

The demise of “The Crucible” The South Hobart Metal Workshops on the Rivulet track at the bottom of Angelsea St.

We leased these workshops off Boags (Well I did..cheap ! Thanks !)… for about 8 or 9 years , shared them with many Metalheads ..among them and in no particular order, John (the Knife) Hounslow, Richard Martin ,Mat Carney ,David Hurst (Bloke), Kerry Whittle (KerryX), Grant Maddock, Hossein Khadenbashi, Jai Hay, Ben Beames, Larrisa Kemp, Graeme Beer, Karl Quirk, Will James, Sean Willson and countless others who drifted through on various missions.. a great access workshop and allways a Friday knock-off gathering . Amazing talent and a lot of good times .. I went up there to have a look and found the Sheds demolished .. I will add pictures to this album as I find them .. If you have any please pass them on to me, also anyone I have missed ..we were many .
