Out walking the dog a couple of months back came across 5 wooden chairs slung out near the bins of an apartment complex
Missing two backs and some dowels carried them home, sanded them down and repainted them, knocked up a small table out of some scrapped wood to use under the pavilion out back, not bad for a bodge if I do say so myself. They probably would have been broken up for fire wood.

What did I do this summer 
Just had 6 back to back 14 hour days outside to get this ready before the weather closes in
Ground pipes are 1m in the ground - I have a post hole digger - but they are square - vertical and level - where the blocks are there is a join and another 600mm pipe
That is the first 6 pads done and concreted off

Frame is all 4.8 m lengths of 3" x 4" and 4" x 4" uprights cut with the chop saw - doors are 4" x 2"
It had about 40 ton in bulk bags and a pallet and a half of cement - frost proof additive etc.
(also all the 'hard' rubbish from when we extended the house - so tiles - bricks etc.)
Replaced any bolt supplied with stainless steel - extra ridge bar is for 3 x 6 foot LED IP batons for lighting
Cover was a bit of a nightmare but is now on - still need to sort the side vents - and a door, but it is somewhere else to work in undercover this winter

Made this from approx 450 washers, took a while but very pleased with it. A few hours of clean up and prep for paint and she is done

Nice looking 50. I wish I had a dollar for every real 50 round I fired in a 3 year period. That long barrel I never liked it much but you could reach way out and touch someone with it. Not a good weapon to try and cover your 6 which was the sweet spot for charlie. The little short barrel aircraft 50 was perfect and you could only mount a 100 rnd can, but you could swing it around pretty good to cover yourself.
