Nice fender work mate I'm glad those off cuts came in handy
-
The log store looks good Chris
-
That video so much reminds me of my old flail.. Only the belt tensioner is different!
-
Now that's a thought
Hi Norm, nope no good views here, surrounded by houses!! But it is a lot quieter down here than I thought it would be.. Almost got used to the sound of traffic now
I managed to get a few hours in at the workshop today, putting tins of bits on shelves, trying to find homes for all my junk...
I did manage to get my big bench cleared and re-skinned with a much thicker top
-
Hopefully next week mate
Thanks Iain, the house move is nearly there now. We should get this place straight by the end of the weekend..
Thanks Doug.. The armchair is very much needed though.. When I'm shattered and had enough I can't just walk across the garden to the house now, so I need the armchair to relax in while waiting for my wife to pick me up in the evenings..
And then it was gone!!!

I really should stop using WD40 as deodorant
Just a few quick photo's to show you all things have been happening in the new shack..
The most important photo being this one
And a luxury item in the shack
Bench with lathe up..
Somewhere under all this clutter is a very big bench!
Project "Why Not" up on it's bench..
And Nigel doing his Mr Universe impression
-
No stopping you now James, you are going for "one of each" aren't you
-
That's a nice find Ben.. Judging from the 1st photo it also makes a good carpet edger
Is this machine getting the full resto treatment or just cleaned up a bit to keep the aged look?
-
I like your thinking Chris, why dig the stump out when you have a Wh or two, or three or four
-
Yesterday was a nice day weather wise and the shack floor had never looked so clean!!
As the first floor board came up I was wondering how many rabbit holes I would find as they do like the garden here and are/were always running under the shack!
As it turned out there was only slight bunny digging in one corner, but no holes.
I did have one very unexpected find though.. I found Limpy... Or what was left of him/her!
Limpy was a young fox cub that could be seen pottering about the place last year.. As you will of guessed Limpy had a limp hence the name..
At one point he/she wasn't look too well but the last couple of times I saw him/her, he/she was looking much better with a nice coat of fur at last..
I guess he/she wasn't doing too well as I found the remains yesterday!
Anyway, the shack is all down now, the base frame has been split into manageable size chunks that will fit on a big trailer with no problems..
And all being well it should all be taken away tomorrow which is also house moving day!! Should be fun
-
The same here, it will be interesting to see how it looks fresh from blasting..
Ben and I were talking about me having Why Not's engine vapor blasted, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks.
-
I've not seen one of those before Iain, that's very cool and a very nice find
Have you managed to keep it a secret from your other half?
-
The 1st I thought of when I saw your flail photo's was they look very much like the photo's I've just sent you James
Great things flails, I wish I still had my one..
-
It comes with instructions Chris
Hi Richard, yeah it was rather a wet day.. But the shack had to come down..
I can't decide of the bunnys have dug holes under the shack or if the just use it as a through route to the yummy grass
I will find out tomorrow when the rest of the shack comes down and the floor comes up...
-
I think if someone is that er... daft strapping a quad down, then standing back and watching would be the thing to do
-
That's a fantastic find Andrew, you seem to have the knack of finding them
Can't wait to see what you come up with next
-
And so the shack comes down... Mostly..
We didn't quite manage to get it all apart, by the end of a very long day it looked like a hurricane had been through the garden
-
Morning chaps, well today is the day the old shack comes down.. I just hope the rain goes away!!
Anyway I made a good start on stripping the inside yesterday, all the wiring is out and most of the interior panels are down.. And so far I've only found one mouse nest in the walls!
-
Despite the odd setbacks you have had Richard, you are most certainly winning the Yellow Mower Challenge
-
Just a quick update on the new workshack.. I've not had much time to get there and do much, but a productive day day was had Thursday.
With Nigel's help (thanks old bean ) we managed to get 2 benches up and some floor space cleared
I will get some photo's when I next get the chance to be there which is looking like Wednesday at the moment..
-
I had an idea where you might of got them Chris as soon as I read the title
They will look great no matter which 'Orse you put them on
-
Nice video Mark, though so some reason there is no sound!
-
Hi James, it's good to see you over here at MOM..
Have fun and make yourself at home
-
That's a nice find Paul.. Is there any Tarpen stuff you don't have in your collection now?
-
Good to see the handy Landy out and about... Don't forget, I will be just next door if you need a test driver
