Building a stool

Building a stool

So I was around my friend Chris house the other day and I was doing some work and using his stool and it was very useful, so time for me to have one. I utilised a foot stool and lengthened it, let the pictures tell the story.

Flower bench painting started

I am finishing of our courtyard area and have been painting the final coats needed for the benches there. I have also started the third coat on the flower bench. This bench has already had two coats of the green and now gets its first coat of burgundy. I will give it a second coat […]

What to do with two old chairs

Two old chairs being converted to a love seat

Ok, I really don’t know what I am doing but I am having a go! Two old chairs sat uselessly ready for the dump. I grabbed them and added them to the todo list. But with immediate inspiration I thought I know what I am going to do. I joined the chairs together with a […]

What to do with an old chair

An old dining chair

I have had this chair ‘sitting’ around for a long time and I didn’t have a clue what to do with it. I had an idea but it meant cutting the chair in half which caused me to pause for a bit and then I thought why not, just go for it and so I […]

What to do with some old 3 x 2 posts

June 16, 2020 by rich

A chair made from old 3 x 2 inch posts

When I rebuilt my shed I ended up with lots of old 3 x 2 inch posts of varying lengths. So I had some fun and built a chair. It is very heavy though! I tried to fill in the screw holes with a mixture of glue and saw dust but it didn’t look good […]

Introduction I have already made two chairs and maybe it is time to make another or maybe even a two seater! I found this site that gives some idea on how to make them. I […]

The Shed Build #shed #diy #woodworking

August 13, 2016 by rich

Close up you can see the recycled cladding, windows etc on the new shed

Just to remind folks I previously posted about the shed here: New Garden Shed Build. Just a quick update. The old shed has gone and some of the cladding is being reused and the whole structure is being erected elsewhere to live on in another garden. Duchy Timber provided ‘shed’ loads of timber which has […]

The old shed looking fine but ready to go

I have been working under a very small lean to porch to do any woodworking projects and the current shed was full to the brim of junk. It was time for a new shed. I am completely unsure of what I am doing and have started down this road of building a new shed. Just […]

Solar Power to the shed

September 15, 2014 by rich

The old shed looking fine but ready to go

I thankfully posted to The Green Living forum to ask advice about this and met a wonderful guy who has helped amazingly. I am hoping to run a variety of things from my solar powered shed including lights for the garden with if possible a trip system or maybe a switch at the gate and […]

Trust

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,whose confidence is in him.They will be like a tree planted by the waterthat sends out its roots by the stream.It does not fear when heat comes;its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of droughtand never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 […]

Peace of mind

Sympathy or Empathy

Sympathy is… feeling for someone. Seeing they are suffering Empathy is… about experiencing those feelings for yourself. “Walking in their shoes”.

Patience

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Ephesians 4 v 2-3 Patience is not optional for the Christian. It is rooted in Christian truth. Patience recognises that full satisfaction cannot be achieved in this […]
