That looks slick. You need a better camera though!

A little, temporary extension to the sliding gate rail so I can slide the gate further and do the other brick pillar. Old galv I beam off cut and 20mm galv conduit. Parkside inverter welder made an appearance:

Didn't expect another post here so soon but: Foccacia. 
First attempt with lots of room for improvement; more oil on top, fresh rosemary and more water in the dough, I want big air bubbles like a ciabatta. It tastes alright though.

Yes it’s a Riva 66. It was an inset I converted to free standing.

Thanks @Shox Dr same as mine then.
I've already changed the baffles a couple of times.
The mild steel one only seem to last a couple of years so this time I'm going to make them out of stainless.
I also need to fix the top plate where the flue exits so that should be fun.
Did you replace the baffles? and if so did you make or buy them?

I replaced a baffle on an oil cooker with mild steel but it burned through in a couple of years. I replaced it with a piece of hardox & it seems to be lasting better.

I’ve replaced the top baffle twice in 6yrs,folded out of 3mm mild. This yr both were both top and bottom were totally shot. The top of the fire had cracked in two places radiating from the flue. Top was cut out replaced with 6mm (was3).
Its been run hard and too hot at times. Hopefully with 6yrs of experience behind me, it will last longer.
...at some point I’d like to fit a water tank to the top, to supply hot water and heat into my workshop.

Recipe would be appreciated, love focaccia
. And with the house to myself this week I’ll be having a play with my new pasta machine, and I’m hoping my big sis and BIL call in so I can make them a lasagna with home grown toms, and home-made focaccia would work nicely.

It was the BBC goodfood recipe but I'll try to find a better one/improve upon it this week, this is really just odd shaped bread with a bit of rosemary. I'm having it with lasanga tonight though, should be good.Recipe would be appreciated, love focaccia

Haven’t seen the BBC website before but just had a nosey and it looks like a great resource, so much thanks

What I've made today, after a tyre-fitting session.
Found some fresh-caught mackerel in the bottom of the freezer. It had only been there since 2012, so it was fine.
Fried up two of them lovely, with some Oriental stir-fry mix.
I haven't doubled over with some horrible gutache yet, so I think I'll be safe to eat the second pair of fish tomorrow.

Its not the gut-ache, its the pebble-dashing of the bathroom that comes after that terrifies me.

welded a frame the other week for another vivarium for my daughter (the third one!), made the cabinet this week whist she and mrs RDR made the background from polystyrene and "stuff". All came together friday as we had a chameleon on its way.
frame welded up, this allows it to have a floating top and the front and side mesh to clip off for an open environment.
made the cabinet base and top from 18mm chipboard
this little fella arrived today...

Mine wasn't. Only person that could handle her was me.
Fascinating reptiles to watch.
