TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Very nice, although a shame to paint the wood. Customer is always correct I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite often the problem with work , it can start as a passion, then it just becomes a job. As a kid , I loved engines , cars , motorbikes , outboards , lawnmowers , I loved it , but by the time that I'd spent fifteen years working as a mechanic, I was sick of the things . I dislike cars so much now , that if my car had a flat tyre on the drive , I'd go to work in a taxi and get my mate to fit the spare for me 😅. I've been having a bit of a love affair with wood for the last couple of years , I really love the rustic stuff , but I'm starting to like proper wood working . I might get myself to night school , and get a few real skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I looked at the first photo and was impressed. As the photos progressed, the whole thing moved up a grade with every step. The end result is stunning. Well made and very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
