I suggested eight or ten but the customer (my son) wanted fifteen. C'est la guerre - RobJohn Brown":3ltsa6nk said:Very nice, but 15 spices? Do you get the bible and the complete works of Shakespeare thrown in?

Made from Western Red Cedar and finished with Linseed Oil Paint. Needs a final top coat once it's all glazed.
Now completed but waiting for lockdown to be lifted so I can order the rest of the glass and start growing.

Didn't cancel the annual leave I'd booked as I need a break.
A little parcel arrived from china with a small live centre that I'd forgotten I'd ordered as it was so long ago. Took a few hours for the grey matter to remember why I'd bought it. Ah hah, I was going to use it on the pillar drill so I could do a bit of playing. Sort of turning but using a Shinto rasp, files and sandpaper. Fairly pleased with what came out, and that the pillar drill bearings survived the abuse, it's an Aldi special, many years old but still going strong.
One Beech, one Cherry. A bit of brass I had lurking in the shed and an old sabre saw blade.

MikeG.":33659m8k said:It was the Victorians and the Edwardians who did the smaller over-lapping panes detail. They just couldn't get big enough sheets of glass to do an entire run down one side of a a roof in a single sheet. Here's the one I have modeled mine on:
There's no extra timberwork, just lapped panes of glass. I'll be starting ours sometime in the last 2 years. I promised.
