Stormin 9,975 #1 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Had to find something to do before SWMBO found something for me. Had a load of wood lying, from my mate's new place over the border in Scotland. So out with chainsaw, sawbench and splitter. Can't split the big stuff yet. No room. The wood covered in the cage is for next winter. What we call Cyprus Leylandi. Kind of fir and needs at least two years before use. These two were not much help. Just sat and watched. There's more split stacked under the kitchen window and were the telegraph pole kindling is stored. Now I'll have to find something else to avoid SWMBO's list.

dells68 7,494 #4 Posted March 31, 2020 Hey, is it just me, or does that look like @squonk waiting at the bus stop at the show? Maybe that isn’t a beard at all, but Corona protection! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,569 #5 Posted March 31, 2020 Doing today also my Lockdown Job, firstly i reworked the Tillerengine with a centrifugal than i cooked the Chain in an old Pot to remove the old Grease and put if to cooling in another, but what i found changes my decision to order immediately a complete new Chain. after dryed and removed all the old Grease, i see several damages on the Chain, they be allready hidden in the Grease. So more time to spend for the new Chain. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,975 #9 Posted April 1, 2020 Something our neighbour across the green fond in a charity shop. SWMBO paints a thought she might used the canvas for a painting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,332 #10 Posted April 1, 2020 Hmm... I just noticed the rest of that canvas. What is that on the left, a crane of some sort? And what's under the bus? Is that what SWMBO painted, or is she going to paint over it, or on the other side? Is that too many questions for one day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,078 #11 Posted April 1, 2020 That is a ski area tram car with the tower in the background and the front car painted to look like a VW Microbus... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,332 #12 Posted April 1, 2020 Aha! And the license plate says "ALPS 1"? Cool! Norm, I'm sorry, but SWMBO won't be allowed to paint over that, she'll have to find another project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,975 #13 Posted April 1, 2020 I'll tell her, though I doubt she'll take any notice. Seldom does of what I say. Decide to split the rest of the logs today. Should last us a while. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,849 #14 Posted April 1, 2020 Years back I was given one of those little electric splitters, and I sort of laughed at it. After using it a couple of times its nothing to laugh at. Very capable little guy. Invaluable in the middle of winter when you need kindling. Use it right inside the garage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,134 #15 Posted April 1, 2020 Hi all, I have spent a couple of days cleaning down one of my workshops. I now have a floor and several shiny machines where there was nothing but kelterment (local word for clutter) Another shop awaits me tomorrow. Mick 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,134 #16 Posted April 4, 2020 looking a lot tidier now, I dont have to walk in sideways anymore. Amazing how a good tidy up makes the shop look bigger. Mick 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,707 #18 Posted April 5, 2020 fer sure about that, Stormin, bet he couldn't fit anything else in there, nice shop @Mickwhitt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,134 #19 Posted April 5, 2020 Shop one is the machine shop, shop two is my woodwork and fabrication shop. A few bits and bobs in there but not as exciting as shop one. Both are pretty tidy now so I will be starting making things again. When the virus restrictions ease a bit i will be able to get on with things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
