The planks were wedged in solid, one or two lines of holes wouldn't have been enough to get them out, I would have had to drill holes in the entire surface area of the two planks and I still would have had to use a chisel by hand.

On your next fire place ???? Perhaps cut the wooden lintel in half minus a 4 inch wide chunk in the middle then screw it with a thickish bracing board to rejoin the correct length . Grease it with cooking oil etc . Pour the concrete using a mid board brace if you think you'll need one. Once it's been used and the concrete is cured unscrew the bracing board & gently ease / pull the greased planks out .

Drained, rinsed and oiled the inside of tank, keyed up the surface and masked off ready to spray. Im a little unsure if Ive masked enough or too much of the filler hole.
Stipped the filler cap, unsure what to do with it, might just 2k clear, or leave it polished metal. I dont think priming, silver basecoat and clear will end well.
The first real job on my cnc router - a jewellery box (box? Carousel?..) made from wood I brought back from Aus a couple of years ago - mostly different sorts of jarrah, plus curly blackbutt and a bit of banksia nut inlay. (Actually, the one I've shown is the prototype and has a softwood bottom tray which I did as a test piece).
Each tray pivots on an 8mm brass rod.
I've done four of them, for the four females in my immediate family, with the idea of giving them as presents when we can finally get together again to have the Xmas meal we missed back in December.

I trust that's the pattern for all 4 sides?

Funny you should mention that!
That jig I'm using is the one I fabricated when I built my workshop as that has 9 sections that size (3.600 long x 2.100 high). I'm just repurposing it for the shed. It makes a convenient work bench!
The shed will only be 3.600 x 2.000.

I've a welded up framing table my BiL lent me. Makes up 6'x6' panels nice and square. Pretty easy with the collated nail gun firing ring shanks. I thought I could maybe have this on wheels in a big workshop to use as a bench then just clear it for fencing now and again.

I knew that cheap er40 collet chuck would be useful! Theres no other nice way to hold it other than hang by the mounting holes. The hb 989 is thick stuff but sprayed nice. Used 250ml of mixed epoxy primer in total.
I wanted to try @Dcal 's suggestion of adding tint for the second coat, I risked it with 2g metalic blue basecoat in 75g epoxy. It didnt mix very nicely and sludged up a bit at first - which I then forgot to filter
But it mostly sprayed ok, but a pain to clean gun at the end.Cocked up at end holding the heat lamp too long at the front, it bubbled up
So will sand that back, but it'll get another coat elsewhere after the filler.

Made some little backets for LED flashers. Little bit of cutting to the back of the grille and they fit in quite nicely. Spent plenty of time fixing previous terrible wiring too but they work. Now just needs the rears fitted and wired.

Thanks for that, there is a notable change from the first ones I did, certain pictures make it easier though. I've a couple done at the moment I really like as well.
