Not Quite Abstract

You can still tell its a crane but I thought I’d go for something a little more abstract for today’s photograph. I hope you like it as much as I do!

No Two Panels the Same

Saw this on my walk home tonight. I’m pretty sure none of the panels matched the others, lovely old thing!

Allotment Fun

Another fun day at the allotment. It’s hard to believe we’ve only had the place since Tuesday, we’ve put the work in and it’s starting to show. There’s a ton more to do though!
Today’s photo is of Her Majesty hard at work. Me? I was sitting in a chair enjoying the sunshine! 🙂

Bench Hooks and Dovetails

The bench hooks worked out great but the dovetails need a ton of work before I can think of building anything. I’m learning though, slowly but surely.

Timber, His Arms Wide

If the title doesn’t make sense, go find the Next Gen episode Darmok (Pictured previously) and watch it! 🙂

Next on my list of fun activities* is learning how to cut dovetails. All my chisels are new however so I’ll be spending most of my time getting them true first I think. I’ve got the timber though so that’s a start. Once I’ve got a better idea of how bad I am, I can work out how long it’ll be before I can make a box or two. We’ll see. 

*The term “Fun” may turnout to be sarcasm.
