a shepherds hut is conceived

[John Hughes]

I started work on my 2nd shepherd's hut today. I have some rings of an old set of cambridge rolls which I will use for the wheels . They are too big to fit in my lathe so l started milling off the ridge using a rotary table on the mill.

 

 

 

The first hut was finished some time ago but the ground is too wet to move it so I think I will wait till the spring before putting it on Ebay.

Lovely. Any shots of the interior?

Love this, but why bother with the effort of using your machinery to make sawdust? All the huts I have ever seen sit in a field looking inviting and only move a maximum of one hedge in a year.....

thats not a quick way of taking a rim off has your lathe not got a gap bed is it a colchester mascot ?

[John Hughes]

Very slow on the mill ,but even with the gap removed it will not fit on the lathe.

I have a Student and a Bantam .

No pictures of the inside but i will try and take some. It has a small shop made woodburner with oven to cook a potato in !

If it is on wheels there is now problem with the planners if i want to leave it in the woods.

Really? I'd have thought it would be the opposite, ie if its on wheels its mobile and not a fixed dwelling

Think John meant "If it is on wheels there is no problem with the planners if i want to leave it in the woods."

That would make more sense

The wheels are not the determining factor it's how it can ultimately be moved, how many sections it can be moved in and a few other details.
