Good old Wood

[Jim]

Hi all,

 

I'm on the scrounge.

Just in case anyone's chucking out any furniture or similar made from real Hardwood.

Not the modern Chipboard, MDF, Plywood etc.

Real, solid wood. 

It'll save you a trip to the tip.

And I get to cut it up for the pieces of nice wood to use on my engraver / router.

Thanks in advance.

I heard there was some Tiger Wood found in a ditch recently, apparently its worth a lot of money even though it is damaged.

 

[Jim]

Tiger wood is good but Dog wood stinks. 

 

All types of interesting wood required. 😉

2 things:

 

One is a good old " Bump"

 

The other is thanks to Martin.  Not only did he have some nice wood.   He delivered it as well.   Thanks Martin.  I owe you a beer.

Just done these two.

Very pleased with the results.

In my SPARE time . . . . . . . . . . . . 

We cleaned the pond out due to cracks and lined it.  We had to make it frog friendly or as Wallace & Gromit would say    " innable & outable "

So I dreamed up a Frog Walkway for them.

Just fitted it in place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Zoomed in:

 

 

 

Posh Frogs !

Been sticking all the capping slates down today.

Just got home @ 7:30.

Beer O'Clock now then.  🤪

Kam brought me a bit of wood yesterday.

Thanks Kam.

Good to finally meet you even if it was only for a couple of minutes.

Thanks again.

I'm still on the lookout so don't forget me.

The weather's warming up and the shed / garage clear out season is upon us. 

 

Ta.

I’ve got an old teak garden lounger you can have. I was going to repair it but changed my mind. Some good chunky bits on it, though it has been painted. I’ll put it on freecycle if you’re not interested.

[Jim]

That sounds interesting.

Yes please Pete.  Always worth a go. 

Can I have an address etc?

I'll send you a PM

[Jim]

Thanks Pete. I may be able to get some useful bits & pieces out of that.

Got a pile here for you Jim 😃.

[plaicemat]

It's nice to see Jim can still get wood, even at his age. Well, somebody had to say it.

 

Terry.

[great white]

and poor old Wedger has piles.😄

[Jim]

I've got the job of helping him with that!  🤪

[Jim]

I'm on my Way Trevor!

Busy busy busy.

 

[Jim]

Thank you Trevor.

Steve's Birthday last week and so I made this:

Boys aged 40 something will know what it is.

 

[Maverick Martin]

That's really good Jim, turn around and take a virtual pat on the back 

[Jim]

Thanks for the wood.
