things you find in your travel's **finished pic added
for those who know, i get around the metro/country areas a bit in my truck.
on one particular day while on a job i spoted this s/s bench....mmmmm....... the eyes lit up!!
so i had to ask...how much for that?
well to my amazement the bloke says to me...its yours, take it.
before he said take it, it was on the back off my truck on its way to a new home.
so on the long drive home i had to come up with a way of getting it under the patio, ok'd by the wife, because there was no way a fillet table was guna be there??
so, i come up with the family bbq theroy and how good it would be for entertaining, but i had to fit a front to it because we get alot of dust out my way with the easterlys.
a cople of weeks later i made some hinged door frames, plumb the sink in and were off.
now i have a 3mtr fillet table under my patio, next to the bbq and the beer fridge, what more can a man want???
today i got the front panels and started to glue them on and just had to share.
the writting on the front panels is just a protective cover and will be removed to show a brushed ally look.
edit;
finished it off this morning.
might put a tea towel holder in the midle mabe???
also note the added scale catcher in the sink!!!
cheers ron
p.s, my cousin got a nice 1mtr tuna out at the bank this morning, so it will get a work out today already

those cutting boards you can
those cutting boards you can get from places like MBL. but your better off with a nice timber one. easier to clean and the plastic ones can get prety grotty with fish blood on them all the time.

shit mate, thats not very nice you poket boxer...lol
as said mate, not my doing so a little annoyed , but shit happens and exxy will always be there for another time, even without the comp.
the bench is a tad over 900mm mate, just the right hight without having to bend over to fillet, holds all the bbq and vac sealer goodies in the cubboards, along with the normal outside type stuff in there as well.
stayed tuned mate i have another little goodie to post up tomorow, something we found for camp cooking!!!
no more shit snags on the bbq for us mate, we going 5 star now???
i will take some pics tomorow and post up, gotta do a few hours in the truck 2moro morn first.
cheers to all

900 is good, one of my pet hates so I raise all bench tops a bit higher than normal tends to piss the missus off.
Looking fwd to the update on camp cooking
