Re: Shed of the Year
Why do I keep thinking you need to get out more Wendy its a man thing or so I am told. I realy enjoyed the whole series and took a lot of inspiration from many of the ideas. Maybe next year I should enter. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g65/cossieal/db32a0a7-ee12-49c5-bd8f-a2db60bfe5e1_zpsb69ce2...

A couple of flowery pictures.
We were sitting outside this evening enjoying the sunshine with a glass of wine or two and Mrs Al decided to take a few pictures with her phone. Its not a modern phone with all the bells and whistles but I think these pictures are realy good. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g65/cossieal/10481382_1...

Re: My latest pallet project.
Thankyou all for the kind words. It was nice to get some wood working tools out again. At work its nearly all metal and fiberglass which is fun but it can get a bit tedious. Great job there Al , is that a piece of slate in the center of the table?, and is the wood waxed/polished or varnished?. Yes S...

Re: Vietnamese ingenuity, making tools from nothing…
I love ingenuity like this. When I worked in the factory I snapped the wooden handle on my hammer so I welded a steel tube in its place and made a grip from self amalgamating tape. I had it for less than two shifts before it was confiscated and replaced with onother one with a lollypop stick for a h...

Re: Why buy Kindling Wood?
I never buy sticks either Richard. I have a large plastic tub where any offcuts from various projects get thrown. If its getting low I know its time I made something from wood.
