Hehe. I love watching "lefties" work with their hands....... "Sigh".......Being an ex-baseball pitcher I always wished I was a lefty.

I watched parts 1-5 over coffee this morning:) thanks... Look forward to following more of this build!!
Two questions though...
What is the song in pt 4??? It's been in my head all day ;)
How are you getting that camera angle?

donkey 04-08-2011 02:27 AM

Hi


The song is called. Close to me, and its sang by a band called. The Cure. The camera angles are not always easy,I use a stand a lot of the time and in a lot of cases I have it stood right in front of me




:biggrin:

'Close to Me' off the Head on the Door album. Classic track while you cut apart a sump!

donkey 04-08-2011 02:49 AM

It just seemed to fit in somehow

Great idea for a build thread :couch2:

I love the idea of opening the paint with a spoon, classic.

I'm only on Part 3, really looking forward to the rest of the installments.

Leah seems to like the smell of skimmate. You might be on to something here: Save yourself the skimmer-cleaning chore and let her lick it clean. :twised:
