Mended the cast gutter on my shed that I broke the day after I last mended it (2 years ago)

Broke it again today. 🙄

Making a bay window seat, bit out of my comfort zone, especially 3 days before Christmas 🙄

That'll look lovely. Fair play.

Looks like Hepplewhite or maybe Sheraton 🙂

Almost there. One last coat of paint should do it.

Pinus scaffoldicus is a great choice for cheap woodworking projects. I've used it for heavy duty book shelves a couple of times.

I think it now has the look of something that’s a bit more than pottering.

Well since the in-laws arrived yesterday, Christmas eve, I found myself a few jobs to be getting on with:

Britain's tractors X 4, the cast hitch snaps of very easily so you can not tow a trailer so drilled a hole and cut a bit rivet to the desired length and glued in place, my middle son was made up with that!

Replaced a fluorescent tube in the garage for an led unit, hopefully won't need the workshop lamp anymore when sharpening in the vice. 

Porch light got a replacement bulb. 

Outside the kitchen got a replacement led floodlight. 

Kitchen had a replacement gland to stop tap leaking. 

All things that had been on the to do list for an extended period of time!

Went out to workshop to start work on 3 saws in bits as got parts.  Glued a wooden coat hanger and 2 toy train carriages instead that I'd dumped on the bench (after throwing out various bottles of gone-off glue, that I searched everywhere for then remembered where I'd put then during the last workshop sort out)

Got some inspiration of how to weld a towbar onto the jimny so lay under that for a bit scratching my head.

Swept the workshop floor, took sweepings to the bonfire and decided to light that.

Oh yes the saws ... a job for tomorrow
