Ian

Welcome aboard Paul, great to have you as part of the team mate

Welcome to the MOM team Mark, great to have you aboard

I didn't think it would take you long to post up a Colwood or two Steve Please keep posting your wonderful collection of machines.

I dread to think how big the matching cutting deck would be

I bet the moles start running when they see/feel that coming in their direction It's good to see some unusual machines posted. Thanks Steve.

That's a nice looking machine Steve, me likes

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.. The legs came off with only a light tug!! As modled by Garry. New stronger legs were made from "hidden toilet cistern" legs. A new chimney was made from part of a metal lamp shade.. A length of flu pipe.. A bit of "boy racer" style car exhaust. And half a Wheel Horse front wheel.. 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 A cowl for the chimney was made for yet another wok. seen here smoking on a white winters day. Pete lighting the gas bottle wood burner for the first time.. 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

Your welcome Mate, and yes the food at the show was very nice.. If anyone else has any photo's to add then please feel free.. I thought I had loads of them until I remembered I video'd more than I snapped.. I guess I should post the video here... Kinda pictures but moving

A few photo's from last years event.. Sorry Kev and Paul, I couldn't resist putting this one up

Hi Kev, I will be attending Tractorfest again. Despite last years rather damp weather it was a great weekend. Roll on this years show

Don't paint it Neil, it has a great rustic look as it is.

I hope he brought you a couple of pint back with him Nigel

That's a nice little collection of little tractors Nigel. It's also nice to see a machine that's not red in the ride on's area

This made me laugh That's an amazing restoration Kevin, thanks for posting it up

Couldn't agree more, it would be great to see you all

For just initial ideas they are fantastic Titch. As for the "skin". If you scroll right to the base of the page you will see a change theme button. You can change how your page looks from there..

I like A..... "An internationally admired forum"

Good to see you rebuilding your shed at last Mark, I bet you have been missing the extra space.. Do I see project bendy has moved in already?

I think you should paint the trailer up to look like a very small burger van/trailer.. It kind of has that look already (if you sqwint a bit) but it would really confuse people if the saw it

I'm good at chopping, changing and generally playing about with images, just not on creating them from scratch. So please guy's have a go and see what you can come up with.

Thats a handy size trailer Paul, have you worked out how many machines you can wedge in there?

A very strange wheel design.. I'd be worried about the front left corning digging in all the time.. Thanks for posting it Paul, it's always good to see something different.

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

That's a nice herd you have Kev, a good mix

Beautiful work Richard and amazing attention to detail
