Thank you.
No, I'm not trained, all self taught. I am out there most days, any chance I get. I've made/had to make all sorts of different things.

Some of them likely will. Girlfriends sister presented me with some eggs and an incubator and said where shall I put them? Eh what?Eat them and save the bother !
Had been agreed with the little one and granny, nothing to do with us...
Looks like three are cockrels so unfortunately because they're Bantums three chicken nuggets.

I've tweaked my back lifting stone into the bobcat bucket yesterday while moving stone for the dry-stone waller. So I'm taking it easy today, so thought of a job that didn't give my sore back a hard time. Ever since I bought the latest set of workshop drawers, I realised that there's now so many, labelling alone is not enough. Also, trying to keep one area for metric, one for imperial, one for tools etc. doesn't always work and you can spend ages searching for the right drawer.
So I thought I would colour code it, most of the drawers are empty or need sorting so best to get the boring bit done now. So I bought a pack of assorted heavy coloured paper and some overhead projector film to keep dirty fingers off the labels.
I sliced them up on the wife's guillotine using a block of wood as a fence,
30 minutes later a drawers of coloured label surrounds and plastic covers
And the finished result, loads to do. Colour code will be something like white for ironmongery, yellow for fixings that aren't for metal, red for tools, blue for metric fasteners, green for imperial etc.
My 13 YO daughter's first reaction was how are you going to get a load of fat useless MPs in those two drawers?
Now I just need to get several hundred drawer dividers CNC cut, I've got about 10 left. A neighbour knows someone with a CNC plasma so hopefully get them soon.
