Looks great! I especially like the top frame.

Really nice.   I remember seeing the movie in the late 60's with Mick Jagger playing the lead. Blast from the past!

Thanks mate.
I liked the 2003 version with Heath Ledger

Russell Crowe is staring in a new one being made this year.
Should be good

Thats terrific John.  My SIL would love that.  Well done.  I don't think any Aussie liked the Mick Jagger version of Ned Kelly, did they?

Thanks Marg,  Nope, I haven't heard of one person liking the Jagger Kelly. The new one sounds like it should be pretty good, but like all things we have to wait and see.

Lovely job on that one John .I have done a few of Ned myself as my son is a big fan of his. Add another one to the list who dislikes the Jagger version of Ned.

I like the top frame as do a lot of people. Unfortunately they take quite a bit longer to knock up than a standard mitred frame. I usually frame a few cuttings, typically "Country" style cuttings with this type of frame and whack an extra $20 on the price.
