Yep it was amusing and interesting.
As was the pigeon thing, where he had to make a wheel out of I assume some sort of pot metal.
You'd a liked the wood topped table where he did proper french polishing. Don't see it very often.
hope you catch up.:):)

... that the garden obelisk making is driving me batty. :confused:
I have no confidence that the garden obelisk I am making for herself will ever look anything other than ruddy-awful.
I have no jig with which to make such a thing (lesson #1) nor the space in which to construct such a 3-dimensional monstrosity.
Here's the 2 ladder sections that must then be joined together in unholy devilish matrimony with cross-pieces to form said obelisk.
I don't have a large enough bench on which to build such a thing as this and it is proving far more difficult than I had anticipated.
To top it all, I am charged with making it pretty on top so as to accommodate a "Dragon Weathervane" :rolleyes:
I know it doesn't have to be "perfect" and eventually it will be covered in vegetations and all my sins will largely be hidden from critical eyes.
As it is 8mm solid bar, I am hoping it won't rust away in 5 minutes like the crap we have bought before. :)

Oh dear, looks remarkably like four arches we made into two arbours or frames for climbing roses in frogland.:eek:
I had to sink deepish holes in the ground through a weed protector thing and then put concrete in them to keep them in place in the wind. They aren't solid bar though, they are tube, and the feckers have rusted away, and are all leaning all over the place drunkenly, while the roses go wherever they want.
All I will be able to do is to saw them off just below ground level.:(
Load of cr@p. Can't help but think you might be better off making them out of wood!
Anyway, best of luck with it.
and make sure you paint he feck out of them, with every rust prevention thing you can think of. ;)

I is pooped. Well and truly pooped. Spent the last 2 days (well 2 x half days :oops:) breaking out a concrete footpath and digging a trench for me new drain to take a rainwater down pipe on a new route. (The old one is well and truly knacked). Pipe is in, temporarily set up and working. And SWMBO has just made a beef stoo so gonna put the nose bag on now :D.

What a cok up! I've just tried to join, it asked me for my google password, I put one in and it wouldn't play ball saying that that had been changed 12 months ago! I hunted through my saved words and tried again - no go. It told me to clip 'forgotten password' so I did and got the verification code. Input that - going well now … until.. it wanted a telephone number so as it could text me 'for security'. 'ere starts another problem - it doesn't accept landline nos (!!!!!) and tells me to find another way - tom toms? morse? flags? I've given up. :mad::(:(:(:(

The continual attitude that everyone has, not only a mobile phone but also a "smartphone" fecks the heck out of me. As I think it must do you.:mad::mad::mad:
When absolutely necessary I give them wifey's number.
Do hope you sort it out as we are all looking forward to seeing the vid!
Best of luck.:):):):)

....and then he had to find/make duckboards and dig dugouts, while being fed on bully beef and Maconochies!

One thing that has not changed in war, safest place very often is simply, a hole in the ground.
Bet he made a better fist of it, with fewer blisters, than some in his squad!"
