Hello Guys
I`ve been busy with family stuff (unfortunately) and work recently, too busy to work on the clock but I managed to get my first few hours in my workshop yesterday evening for about two weeks. I decided not to work with the clock, that needs a clear mind, time and thought and so I decided to do a random little project.
I`ve been getting well into GeoCaching for the last few months. It is a perfect excuse to take the dog and family on a walk and my daughter loves running around in the fields looking for treasure! For those that don`t know much about geocaching, visit
www.geocaching.com To sum it up in a few sentences, it is basically a worldwide game in which normal people hide a container (of some sort, the more creative the better!), find the GPS co-ordinates and log them on geocaching.com As a user, you can then find local caches and go hunting for them. It is great running around in fields looking for a little hidden container but recently I upgraded to a premium user and started doing some harder ones on my own. Yesterday I came across, what they call a magnetic nano. A tiny container which contains the normal log book (this is so small is it just a rolled up strip of paper) but is hidden in a more urban area, magnetically attached to something. The ones I`ve found were quite small black ones attached to park benches. It gave me an idea to make my own but this time, I thought I`d paint it red and stick it onto a local small post box.
I was limited to what I had lying around so the magnet is a bit bigger than would be ideal:




I did make a nice job of the paint but it looked too perfect a job when sat on the postbox so I removed it and did a thick second coat which I let half dry and then added some black and rouged up the surface.


I`m not going to lie, I`ve still stuck it on the back of the box half hidden, but in a top corner in looks part of the box! There were too many people about to take a picture in situ but I`ll try and snap one in a few days.
Anyone else into Geocaching?
Chris
