  1. Ok, I may be cheating a little bit here as I bought the gas bottle wood burner already made..

    But when I arrived we had to do a lot of work on it to make it usable..

     

    As it arrived..

    New stronger legs were made from "hidden toilet cistern" legs.

    Weld all those bits together and you end up with something looking like this.

    The badly fitting door was replaced with an "Uncle Bens" wok which came free with a packet of rice :D

    And of course the first kettle to be boiled on it.. Yes the door normally stay's closed to stop the shack filling up with smoke..

    You might say I like to recycle stuff :D


  2. Quite possibly my other connection that red!!

     

    I have a Wheelhorse still, compliments of our friend The Showman, but haven't done anything to it yet. We shall be moving house very soon, I have plans for it.........

     

    But that 6WD of yours,... well.. an awesome technological piece of brilliance in my eyes!!

     

    Good to hear you have a Wheel Horse titch, but then I am rather partial to them :D

    Thanks for your compliment on my 6WD, it's been a technological annoyance for a few weeks with an important weld constantly breaking!!   I hope I have got it finally sorted this afternoon.
