Dave's Wooden Stuff

:lol:

Consequent to this revelation, I have petitioned the Board for a company rebranding. After several hours of deliberating, the committee decided to change the name of the company to Smiling Macaque Industries. However this was vetoed at the eleventh hour by the PR department, who are concerned that it will alienate our primary demographic. They finally agreed on Smiling Monkey Industries, on the understanding that a 3 year old probably knows what a monkey is.

In an addendum to the motion, it was also agreed (in deference to PETA) to pay royalties to the copyright holder of our company logo. The macaque named as Naruto, who may actually be a macaque who chooses to remain anonymous, will be paid a substantial percentage of any profits made by our non-profit organisation.


Oh, and I made another stick. With a housing in it.

Thanks all

Made a surfboard to go with the rope ladder:

And used some vee blocks to do some decidedly off-square drilling. I planed a small chamfer on the corner to give the drill bit somewhere to start:

Can you tell what it is yet?

I'm pretty sure you should email PR and suggest Golden Monkey Industries.
7 seconds in. Bosh.

It was a pilot series Dave, I think they only made about 8 shows or summat, released on the back of the popularity of Indiana Jones. I loved it as a kid, but it's one of those shows where people are reminiscing about childhood tv and you go 'Yeh! And remember Tales of the Golden Monkey? That was awesome right?!?!' And you're all excited and remembering how brilliant it was and you look and everyone is looking at you like you made it up and you're a bit mad.

I remember that show! Although the monkeys were actually bronze if I recall correctly.

I s'pose seeing as it's 6th June today, he's off to Gold Beach now! (Thinking about the "Golden Monkey" clip linked above - which I'd certainly never even heard of before, let alone seen)! Or am I thinking about 1944, (the year BEFORE I was born before anyone comes back with a clever remark)

Nice floatplane Dave.
