Went to the hardware store today to buy some timber and villaboard etc. Computer system did a nosedive when I tried to pay, I waited patiently and was rewarded with a trade discount. :lol: Drove round the back to pick up the villaboard, first sheet had a broken corner so the guy gave it me for free!!!! Good day.
 
A paperweight clock, not my kind of thing usually but i noticed the AWE and atomic symbol (Atomic Weapons Establishment) cant find out anything about it whatsoever, maybe given to staff? Bought it as a curiosity for the grand sum of 2 lol.

Nice to see you have hidden all your Jackie Collins novels for the photo.

Two bits of recycled wood, a bit of stain and two repurposed glass shelves from a bathroom medicine cabinet, 10 minutes with the circular drop saw, a bit of sanding, I would say about $10. Oh wait, St Kilda, sounds posh, make that $20.

Sounds about right!

I got some bathroom cabinets from Ikea and after hacking them I had a whole load of bevelled glass shelves just like those ones left over. I just wrapped them in newspaper and stuck them in the back of the wardrobe and you know what? For a sale of $10... that's where they are staying.
