    i keep the cut-offs from copper pipe as i will then cut down the center and flatten it out into a square to make copper roses or other random copper items,
    I made my girlfriend two in-twinned for our 7th year together.
    The stems are made from copper brake pipe, the usual method in copper rose construction is to solder the petal rings to the stems, but i had a great idea to use a brake line flaring tool to upset the pipe under the last petal ring then hammer the top of the pipe down like when you do a rivet so the whole lot is a compression fit rather than solder (i dont have any real gas torch atm)

    Has the lockdown in your area thrown a spanner in the works? Is it driving you nuts? Do you feel like you've been royally screwed? Let's hope that we can un-bolt our doors and return to normality soon. But until that time, washer hands regularly. I wood knot blame you if you unfollow this thread.

    Tasmania is a island state so nature supplied us with a dirty great moat around us. Handy for stopping people from sneaking across the border.
    The virus level is very low at the moment. We are back to normal with travel and movement around the state.

    similar concept to Gregorey's concept of 'hole being born' i shot this on the 3rd of February solely with the intent of using it for holes.

    I tend to ignore speed restriction signs, I don't find them very aesthetically pleasing ;)
