Thanks for the feedback Guys, it was an enjoyable process learning how to transform my stones into a finished product.

It looks good on the Mrs as well

Some very impressive skills & the 48/215 ....wow

That looks very pro Wally, top job mate, should keep you in the good books for a while. erfect:

Wow, I'm quite amazed ; that's one hell of a great transformation of your finds, no matter whether they were found in the wild or at a garage sale!

i made the leadlight windows for a friends old kitchen cabinet and thought i`d share.

Old Queenslander windows :/ I've see'em in a few other states didn't know they came from Queensland ].

On the 26th Aug I posted a pic in the 'Today I Bought' column, of the Reeds Prospecting [Gaffa Taped] Lithium battery pack they put together for the SD series detectors. The Gaffa Tape is a bit of a poor effort on their part, but I overlooked this with the intent of boxing it properly.
Sooooooo, here we are, 'Today I Made' a proper case for it from a perfect size plastic box I picked up from Jaycar for just over $4
I haven't properly secured the top to the case yet, as I want to find some nice small catches, so it has a (temporary) bit of Gaffa tape back on there for now





And there you have it. 1 case, carefully murdered with judicious use of a hacksaw blade, cordless 5" grinder & a sharp pocket knife

Sweat mate, innovation at its best

Nice job DD. Looks very professional. :Y:

50% ... literally half the weight Jaros. The original GelCell is about ~2kg, & the new unit is ~1kg.
(tried to weigh them on bathroom scales, which are about +-200gm)
It contains 2x 6V x 4.5Ahr Drypower Lithium batteries in parallel (total 9Ahr)
