What to do with an empty weekend ?
« on: October 19, 2012, 07:32:03 AM »
I can hardly believe it but according to my wife our weekend is COMPLETELY EMPTY !!!!!

I can't remember when it has been like that and up till last weekend I was crazy busy with the marching band for various stuff.

So my schedule:

friday night = vector repair night, gotta fix some French color vector stuff !!!
Saturday and/or Sunday = (hopefully) Ms.Pac Man side-art day !

And yes....I could really use some help on saturday if anyone is willing and able to assist me. I can't ask my wife because she has some problems with her arm still. And I guess my son is still a bit too clumsy/impatient for this kind of work.
Coffee/beer (only afterwards of course) /cookies/crisps/candy (the eatable kind of course) everything is available for free and I'll even make you lunch if necessary  ;D ;D

Since when is that a problem for you ? ;);););)  If you start 20.00 you are well in time for Saturday morning :):)

I got a new Nickname/ avatar for you: Night Driver ! :)

P.S. Bring GF, Wilma will take her out shopping in Rotterdam ;);)

I'll buy dinner in a nice Restaurant   ;D

Seriously: it is a huge shame that distance is so often an issue for us in this hobby.

you'll definitely need a second set of hands for the job, andré, otherwise you might screw up the sideart. i'd love to help (or send over charlotte because she's helped me out quite a few times on a job like that), but we all know that distance unfortunately IS an issue! :(

Nothing at all......needed to spend some time with the family and also with my best friend.

Apart from that I am missing some essential tools.
Some I bought saturday (clamps, new set of exacto knifes) some I still have to get: Metal ruler to cut along (a long one, will have a look at Gamma) and TOG's custom squeegee (which I found out the Dutch word for is "rakel".
This one has a soft cloth installed, I could find enough squeegee's available on-line in Holland but not that kind.

So sadly also no repair work yet...but plans are to pick that up the next couple of evenings.

Cyprus......nice :)

I bought a long "waterpas" for that kind of work.. (nivel i think its called in english) at "Van Cranenbroek"

usually they are straight  ;)  and, Van Cranenbroek is cheap  ;D

I also us it as a guide when using the circular saw..



I have 2 of them, one of 1 meter, and 1 of 1,5 meter  8)
