Utility room/downstairs bog well under way. New soil pipe installed ( bit of a Bas***d as it ran down between the original build and an extension) all plumbing for utility installed. Partition wall to go in Tomorrow.

Me and the Mrs. Had a couple of hours digging out for the new shed base. Knackered now just had dinner and a few glasses of red to be dealt with whilst watching England's abysmal performance in the West Indies.

Will these be on sale at York Neil ?

Yes Geordie, there will be some for sale.
I might turn the piece back left, as it is already a bowl shaped burr ( what you can see is the tip of the iceberg). My experience tells me if I don't turn it soon it's going to split! Which the Oak crotch bowl hasn't by the way:whistling:

I've another 5 rounds of this to do, and for reasons I can't go into now, they must be done within the next two weeks! That's four days home working with no chainsaw.:down:

Well back in the shed after the long weekend away. Not a lot to report all I have managed is to cast 4 blanks hopefully camouflage ones. Still in the tubes, these are for some Lock and Load pens that I have just ordered from our very own Dan. I want these as I am doing a Military show later in the year.

Those will be interesting to see Derek.

I agree Paul done with 4 colours all I had colour wise was Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and White. They are still in the tubes hopefully get them out later and get a very rough idea what they look like if they fail looks like I will need to buy some.

Just popped out to the kitchen(no I did not cast them there I value my life) and gave the ends a slight tap and they moved so took them out. First impressions they look reasonable will not really know until I turn them.
