Still a work in progress, but kids do love having their pic taken sitting behind it.

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

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.

I made this memorial sculpture after hearing the Story of Liam Tasker and his loyal dog Theo who were killed in Afghanistan in 2011, I recently sent it to Liam's mum in Scotland and I am pleased to say that she loves it, which I am very happy about. It has been an honour making this and it is great to see photos of it in its new home. Purple Poppies represent the service of war animals

Printers been giving be grief, or I have been giving it to myself. Did not store filament properly and did not order enough of Prusa's plate glue. Yes EU do not feel down in the dumps you still make the best stuff.
