So, my wife asked me for a fence. A couple of hours later I gave her this! And also to make a new desk, and to make an Advent Calendar Tree. On Be ca...

Dave & Nok’s Blog. December 5, 2016. Last year my lovely wife made me a scrapbook style advent calendar. This year I decided to make one for her, but out of the recycled fence panels I’ve been using for other projects, like the Double Spring Pole Lathe. Combined with that I scoured the internet for vintage and retro style Christmas card images, making sure there was a strong Aussie presence in there! Anyway, I made this not sure if she would like the rustic aspect of it, but she loved it, YAY! There wasn...
