We were supposed to lay some concrete founds this morning but with snow on the ground and heavy rain forcast I called it off and spent a few hours playing in the workshop instead:ciggrin:

No special kits available but very enjoyable in spite of it being bl**dy cold in there, (better than mixing concrete) :love_it:

The streamline is sycamore and has a transluscent effect which the photo doesn't show, other two woods are bamboo (chopping board) and hawthorn from my field hedge.

Very nice Bob, much better than mixing concrete... I do beg to ask though. Aren't you married? why are YOU mixing the concrete? :funny::funny::funny:

Click to expand...

Utility extension on my sons "new" house. I make better use of the wife and send her off to paid work so I don't have to:wink:

We've missed most of the weather and seem to be gettint the tail end. Managed to get the founds in today and should be up to DPC tomorrow though I was sorely tempted to call off as Vince at Turners Workshop emailed me to say he'd be in the warehouse if I want to call in. Guess I'll be saving some money by bricklaying instead!
