But a finite amount of space with both of them.

I've been busy made this big 3 litre jar of cherry brandy that morphed into my version of a Rhumtopf .

Strawberries , cherries and an angels kiss in spring , my brandytopf is made of all these thing s :- A banana , a chopped apple and broken up orange , 350 g of red grapes , a diced pear , 1.5 kg sugar an inch and a bit of crushed ginger with the skin still on for a little tingle and a cheap 3/4 litre bottle of £14 . 50 brandy .

I've also made some thing on my lathe ..something I've been intending to make for several years ..guess what it is .

Well, I 'made' my welding trolley into a better welding trolley today, added space for a second gas bottle, plus raised the migs shelf height to fit my new tig underneath.




Test fit.

A homemade pipe fitting for a 19mm bilge pump hose. I thought I had a couple of weeks to work on it, he'd now like it back on the water ASAP, and there's no chance of me getting the correct fitting locally. I'm expecting nothing of it, it was done out of curiosity than anything sensible. That said, if the old ways are always better then this must be excellent as the Romans used wooded water pipes.

100% for ingenuity, but I'd hate to be the target of a board of trade enquiry if it failed at a critical moment and the boat sank.

Agreed, I should have a used a more suitable material, oak or iroko, but I didn't have to any to hand. I mitred it as I thought cutting a hole across the grain would have been a bit of a bodge.

This year as you cansee I've gone posh and made a handy little dibber . Only fur more baskets and another tub of lobilia to rip befor the sun gets to warm .
