Whilst my Irish chippy grandfather will likely be turning in his grave, Sarah loves it!
She said the +/-5mm tolerance, coupled with the over use of expanding glue really contrasts with the use of modern, stainless steel panel pins and their haphazard placement.

Usually but surprisingly the cap head worked as the countersunk Philips wouldn't take enough torque.

Ages ago I made a freestanding shelf from old scaffold boards spare from when I made my gate. It stores my oils, spray cans of paint, lubes etc
Figured a rack on the end wouldn't go amiss.
All that work and I realise I could have made it to take 4 cans wide instead of 3!
In the process of populating the rack I dropped a can of mustard colour, filler primer. The earth pin of an upturned 3-pin plug went straight through the side! Tbh I and the garage got away lightly as I quickly bundled it out into the open rubble sack and left it to do its thing! Bummer as it was nearly full!

I've started the scratio. The blocks are at least third hand and were last used to support an oil tank. The quarry mix is new but left over from a job and will be used to fill in the worst of the gaps once it's all settled I'll pour a really runny grout over the lot to stiffen it a bit. If I'm lucky I'll blag the washout of a ready mix truck and won't have to use whatever cement I have in the shed.

I like the little snap on box. Very nice colour trims
Assembled 90% of my new gaming pc, rest of the stuff to go in is currently in old (drives etc) and just need to install windows on it.

Made most of the ramp for the shop next door out of blocks ready to do the block paving, it should match our shop giving easy access and a nice look.
