Do a google search (subject you want to search)... then at the top left of the page click on 'IMAGES' ...... Hey presto !!!!!
Then click on the image for more info...

For example do it with the word 'Landyacht' and your eyes will light up.

those are all tools for woodworking!!!!!! working fn huge pieces like entire trees. every now and then a customer wants a hewn beam for a building and theres only 1 person in town who's relearnt how its done( is a really great way to lose some kilos!!!!!) look up broadaxing timber
this is definitely not a shed to blunder around in in the dark.
but during the last earthquake nothing fell off most of the gear is 1890-1930's kelly , but the broadaxes are all english brades except the one I mainly use which is the smallest, I made that with an axe and a truckspring. took 4 days in a forge.
the double header was made by me to see just how hard they would be to use. result was that you need to be 6'+ and about 120kg to even pick it up .
isnt that right TP1

managed to create a double sided self steering to the jib with a assist set up to the main. needs tuning of course , probably with a variety of rubber bands. in the mean time it fits nicely in the lounge room



plan is to find a big dam or small lake with its own sunshine supply on the weekend

almost 200mm deeper
we got it on the water today and the steering worked too well
tended to snake downwind, so we moved the main sheeting till it works partially agaainst the jib steering. much nicer , and would go straight across the dam
