I believe there are avid fans of Yew on the forum. There's a pile of yew logs at Geenix Sawmills near North Cave Humberside, just off the M62. Here's a few pics for yew :D All the timber in the foreground is Yew, the background is mainly oak with one huge log of Honduras mahogany lurking. I...

I do have a drum kit in it, not that I can play or have ever shown any inclination to play, however my ageing parents thought it would be a good birthday present and their neighbours were getting rid of it. The kids make a din on it and I plan to move it somewhere else very soon however I don't...

Thanks for the kind words guys, its been a long haul from a small shed in London and a garage in Doncaster before then. The reason it is so big was partially the fault of my neighbour, his logic is unquestionable " you can put a little 'un in a big 'un bit not a big 'un in a little 'un". So I...

I've had this one for about 10 years, mainly in bits, its time I got her finished, that's what I shall be doing most of the summer while its spraying weather.

Its a 1964 Fordson Super Dexta

Yes, it was a bit lively, I had the CO2 on the carbonation (20 lb/in2) outlet not the serving (5 lb/in2) outlet on my gas board :oops: It was during commissioning and I had to drink any mistakes so I wasn't too bothered :D

First some floor plans. At the moment its a mess, I'm in the middle of several jobs that will clear the workshop up, plus I'm about to give away a huge pile of old PCs and other IT stuff to a charity that will free up a large space and I have all sorts of junk to cull. Current floorplan, with...

Thanks guys I do appreciate the extra space however you will be surprised how it fills with junk rapidly! Before we get on to the workshop proper, firstly the most important bit, the brewery. I've always brewed beer and until recently I was using a Burco "nappy" boiler and made 5 gallon...

+1 n0legs, this is a sobering thread about spraying 2K Also note the bit about water based paints and Isocyanates, they can still contain it so good PPE is still needed.

The next stages are harder to visualise as another ankle biter arrived and not long after we all went to work away for a year so the house and projects were semi-moth balled but some work did continue slowly however I have few photos, not as many as I wished. The cladding of the upstairs and a...

You could take the vehicles wheel off and put it on bricks or dig a couple of trenches to drive it into to lower it a bit.

it is already filled! That was back in 2009, it was water tight by end 2009 and I've been filling it with stuff ever since. More picks to come.

Hi Andy You can pick up a used or new polytunnel quite cheaply, probably for the same cost as the scant. Cheers Andy

I've found a couple of pics on laptop of the start of the cladding, the rest will have to wait until Friday when I get home. The steel framed bit and the roof of the stone bit is covered in 50mm insulated Kingspan cladding, most of the downstairs apart from the first 5m will not be cladded as...

Tascam do some nice hand held recorders/players that have USB interfaces and SD cards and superb sound. I have a GT-R1 recorder/trainer that can play back however one of their small 6 track mixers like the DP-006 may be more suitable and cheap second hand. The USB is for connection to a PC, not...

If I left it any later I wouldn't have done it either, we renovated our last two houses but it was nothing compared to this, we travelled from London every weekend for over 2 years to work on it before we moved into the house. We used to set off back to London at 2:00am Monday so we could slip...

It took most of the summer and autumn to get the foundations dug for the stanchions and get the steel work fabricated however once we start assembling it then it went up in a couple of weekends. This is from late October, early November 2008. My job was digging the foundations for the columns...

After a break for our first daughter and the usual planning delays, construction started in April 2008, the good news is that the 3 years allowed me to save up and I also acquired some stone and steel very cheaply. I got 90% of the steel for the same price as the remaining 10%. An old warehouse...

Back in 2002 we moved from London to the north, selling our terraced house and buying farm "in need of repair". Every stick of timber except for 4 pitch pine beams were replaced and part of the roof, and the floor was flags on plain old earth so that had to come up and part of an old fire grate...

I haven't finished yet Bob ;)
