Thanks Tim, still waiting for the pin vice to arrive so that I can get on with the other bits and pieces that need drilling (not good using the drill in-between fingers!)Wow, that is really coming to life Gerry.
Yes, and it spreads quite quicklyComing together with the instant gardening seedlings Gerry.
Cheers,

Thanks Andrew, not too much left to do, (still waiting for the pin vice) want/need a tree/bush in near the fire (only really to support the smoke, as it won't stand up on its own - despite having enough hairspray on it to hold a beehive!), bits that are on 'hold' until the pin vice turns up are the bucket (nicely dented), pots (which are getting 'fire blackened') and the remainder of the water, as I've got to get the level to the bucket (so toss-up between varnish and clear silicon).Gerry
That's come on a treat and is coming together very nicely.
Well done.
Andrew
Thanks Dan - I wasn't too sure about it, I'll finish it off now then.I'd say "yes"
It looks like a proper old thick canvas lorry tarp, a bit filthy and stiff.
I think with all the modern fabrics we use it's easy to forget how things used to be.
Thanks Scottie - just spent the last 20 minutes plaiting button thread for the tie ropes for it (cotton was too thin, so went with the slightly thicker button thread) - should have used 3 different colours, at least I'd have known which was which!Gerry,
I agree with Dan the tarp looks good.
Thanks Andrew. I will be giving credit to a lot of people on here for supplying their ideas and tips for this build as the tarp is the 'spectacle cleaning cloth' version.Lovely work there Gerry and I like the tarp too.
ATB.
Andrew
