Stuff you have made today

a backstop

I've always thought a old barn door would make a good backstop if only for the irony.

You had presumably already paid for the wood your builders were putting in the skip. You can bet your boots if they were paying for it there would be far less ! (And you'd need less skips !!!!!!! )

Totally.
The easiest money you will ever spend is not your own.

I noticed that the open corner door may not be noticeable. It can hurt. Painted scarlet, inside.

Color style - Watermelon.

Finish.

Yes, absolutely - I was after some breeze blocks but they took them away before I got the chance! They quoted for the job and we signed the turnkey project contract before the price hikes in materials last year so I suspect we've done well; it just took ages for the building warrant to come through.

Well today I made the lights come back on!

New switch, in its new position. (Before you had to have a reach around behind the shelves). Angle iron / t&g flooring offcut shelf unit narrowed down by 100mm. Big refurb'd cupboard tarted up and next to it.

Still can't decide whether the pipe offcuts are any good as storage / pigeon holes. I'd get a lot of organiser boxes stacked on those shelves instead...

I like your storage using the (what I assume to be) cut plastic pipe...

I think tbh it might be a bit wasteful of the space?

Yes, pvc pipe about 200mm dia. I occasionally get them given to me.

I use square line guttering on shelves for my metal offcuts, works well.

I wish I had a couple of dozen such pipes 600 mm long . t
They would fit nicely under my lathe pushed right back to the wall and be used as a tube , bar & rod store , any not used would go into the garden for leek sleeves .

These are about 250mm long only.

@Tangledfeet Are there going to be handrails on those steps?

Yup, can't get the building warrant signed off without them.

Neighbours only a few doors done had pretty much the same extension (same company; CR Smith) completed last year and seeing that inspired us to invest in one - made the salesman's job much easier as we just said we want pretty much what they've got!

They did have an issue with the building warrant not being signed off for a while as there was some wrangling about their height.

Several years ago I 'acquired' some decent (as in older) sapele and saved it for something worthwhile; nothing fancy does the job nicely - the sapele has some slight chatoyance in the right light.

I figured if @selectedgrub can do it then so can I!

Am I missing something here?

Polished my clock. It had come down while we decorated. I’d made it as a woodwork project back in the 90’s using some oak that I’d rescued from my nan and grandads house clearance, it was an old dressing table, I still have the mirror in the attic dated 1908. Didnt have the skills or machinery to make the clock mechanism, so bought a modern german one. Thinking about it with online auction sites etc nowadays I might keep my eye out for an old fusee drop dial mechanism that will fit. Its scrubbed up well again
