Falls creek family snow trip 2022
This was our family trip to Falls Creek in 2022. We stayed at Pretty Valley Alpine Resort and we can't recommend it highly enough for a family. For the one cost you get accommodation, full gear high, 3 lovely meals a day, a pool and spars and the best thing with kids is 3 hours of free child care every afternoon to give you time to wind down at the 2 bars in the facilities.

3rd Dan black belt board and tile Breaking
Переглядів 163Рік тому
This was my board and tile breaking from my Taekwondo Kukkiwon 3rd Dan black belt. the first two kick were double boards and the rest were singles, and the roof tiles were concrete. When I went to break them I had acquires a cracked rib from the sparing phase. I sure earned this one. Not bad for a 50 year old.
Cubby house
Переглядів 40Рік тому
Well here is a project that I have been keeping under my belt for the last year. A bit over a year ago my little girl asked me if I could make her a treehouse or cubby house. So without even thinking, I said “Sure, why not”. Because I have taught her that Dad’s word is golden. If I say we are going to do something, then it will happen, and if I say No, it means No and there is no point arguing....

Onesie World, First Contact

This was my first attempt at making a movie for a major project at Uni. There is a little more work that can be done in editing but time is up and it has to be submitter. The idea for the costumes came to me one night after a lot of beer. My wife, myself and two mates would have onesie parties with my little girl and she loved it. The idea snowballed from here and I ended up spending over $3,00...

This is Molly (the dog) and Simba (the cat) at full play. This is them on their 1st birthday. They were born only 6 days apart, and are the best of friends.
Defence medal for sell 1:04
Really intersting. Came due to an interest in history and because i have a lot of medals pass through my hands. I have 1 civil medal. I've only worn the full size the day I got it but wear the miniature a few times a year, and I've noticed the ribbon is not as vibrant against the full size when I put it away. A replica is a good idea. Will see if I can get one so it stays in good nice and I dont have to worry about loosing it. Thanks for posting !!!
Thank you very much for that, and I'm always happy to help you out with any medals you need, either yours or your families, just let me know. If you are interested in the history of medals, please have a took at the other 2 videos that I have made. Cheers Flash
I have a medal like one of them
Brilliant outline!
I wish I had of known about your service over a decade ago. I've always worn my originals, court mounted as I was a lid & fell for it. Yeah I know too late, the metal material issued by ADF ain't that great either, & I haven't looked after them taking them out once a year from storage... but wearing originals has shot down the 'stolen valour' lottery losers that come out to play on ANZAC day.
Question, if the medals are on a board already, how do you add a clasp for years of service?
When I'm mounting the medals the clasps are stuck in place with double sided tape, then sown on to hold them in place. When it comes to adding a clasp, ideally I would remount them, as the way I mount them they don't come apart. However, no one wants to pay for a remount just to add one clasp. So the double sided tape that I use is VERY strong and sets over a couple of days and won't come off without thinners. To be fair, I don't really need to sow them down, but I do just to make them perfect. Cheers Flash
I've had work done by Flash. Replicas and ribbon bars of my service medals. Totally satisfied with the products and craftsmanship. Regards, Graeme Spurrell - Melb Vic.
How do you attach the pin and clip system at the back?
Hi Mate, they are stuck to the back board with double sided tape, then the ribbon goes over top.
Can share a video of making ribbon bars. What tools do you use when making the ribbon bars?
Hi Mate, I'm working a my next video about ribbon bars. It will have to wait till after ANZAC day now. Stat tuned.
The best video I have ever seen on medal mounting. Well done!
Is there going to be a part 2?
Hi Mate, Yes there is. It's 80% finished. I have just been that busy with work (Army) and mounting medals it's hard to find the time. There is Soo much more to cover in part two and I want to get it right. I'll have it out before Christmas.
Can’t wait
@@damienmurphy8994 Part 2 is now out.
where can i get my medals swing mounted these days seeing as you dont do this work
Luv ya work. Proud to know you take such pride in your work. BZ my man 😉
Don't get them from Medal R Us, it would have to be the worst work I have ever seen
хорошее видео!
Hi mate, a bit random but what brand is the LED/magnifier helping hand in the top left of the screen?
LOL that is a random question. It's a 3 dioptre led mount magnifier, Modlel X 4200.
Have you done scouting medals
No sorry
Thanks Flash Mate, I have my Dads WW2 Medals, arrived 5 years after the war in a greaseproof box and not assembled. Sadly he died just before they arrived ( he was 26), I have treasured them all my life now I'm 70 ex Royal Navy and intend to wear them on Remembrance Sunday 2020 . This is an excellent video and really enjoyed watching you. Good fortune for the future looks like a great business and I am quite happy to promote this on our Facebook page facebook.com/BACAssociation/
Been looking at your mounting jobs, do you swing mount at all? All your examples seem to be court style
No sorry, I only do do court mounted these days as that is the standard for mounting medals.
Flash Storey Oh okay, just interesting because many people prefer the old fashioned swing look over the court, as a medal mounter I like to offer both mounting styles
this is the most accurate video i have seen apart from the ones made by the military
You still based at Enoggera mate?
Yes Mate I am
Hey mate. Just got some medals court mounted. I should have done some research beforehand. The ones I have weren’t too bad. They are stitched at the clasp to hold the medals but then they have added some additional double sided tape to secure them. Hmmmm The mounting board is some core flute plastic. Luckily I’ll only prob wear them for ANZAC day from time to time. So hopefully it will last. Definitely wish I had seen this video before I ordered them!!!
Who'd you buy from?
Hello, really enjoyed the talk about medals bit the Victoria Cross ribbon is crimson not claret.
Hi Julia, yes that's correct. I realised my mistake when I was editing it. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring it up. Good spot.
Also, Little known that until July 1918 Navy recipients ribbon was blue.
And where is a good place to get the general supplies for the mounting, rosettes clasps etc
All the miscellaneous stuff really
Hey Flash, I want to remount my families replicas myself. Wheres a good place to good die Attucks not moulded replicas? I already have some good quality ribbon
Hi JB, Sorry for the late reply. I by mine from a wholesaler. It will depend on where you are to where the nearest place is. National Medals in Brisbane will sell to the public, or Christie's in Sydney. They are more expansive but they can be good for the odd items. Cheers Flash
