Brownie points

[Dalboy]

Turning has slowed down for a week or so now as I have been gardening (removing a cherry tree mainly) and repairing a couple of benches which I have just managed to complete.

The pile of wood I was given which I spent last week cutting into the correct size and drilling holes. Then over the weekend I gave them a few coats of oil and let them dry and today assembled the two benches, I think they look pretty good and they have now earned me some extra brownie points

Thanks guys. I have had these for quite a while and just left them too long before repairing them. I am trying to have a big sort out in the garden even taking down a cherry tree and yet still have a very large conifer as well as a pear tree which does not bear any fruit

Dont believe it about the pear tree we have had one for 10 years no fruit, I pruned it 2 years ago this year it gave tons of fruit!!

Funny you should say that but it is something I just may do

Nicely done Derek, I expect you need the brownie points.

Has your missus finished reading the engineering books I sent?
