With the arrival of my Tempilaq yesterday, I set about making a gas bottle retainer with the wood offcuts that had lain around for years.
I can hear you all asking, "Why" (for Pete's sake), when none of the Yt vids showed anything remotely like that. Well, I just didn't want to knock over a flaming gas torch in my garage is why.
This experience has taught me the it would have made more sense to go to Bunnings and get some new bits of cheap, planed and thicknessed softwood. For instance, the 35 mm particle board, that came from my scrap heap, actually splits when you drive a screw into it
I have a few bits cobbled together, in between chores, which will probably do but be aware Dear Members that thick particle board is made of two sheets glued together, which makes it look sturdy but it splits along the glue-line
I am persevering. the load or stress on this thing could not possibly be severe but it goes to bear out the old saying,"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions".
