    The Covid19 Thread

    corona virus projects any one?

    I announced today that we will isolate ourselves from other humans. Wife replied ''so nothing has changed''. The postman comes most days and I think that is enough visitors. Started fencing off some new planted trees before we get sheep on. Aching now after banging away on a post knocker all...

    Fray Bentos pie tins

    I have always been a big Goblin fan . I use the tins for odds and ends in the workshop. I thought Fray Bentos was a South American freedom fighter. You know, that fellow in the beret.

    A ride on sharpener.

    One of the attractions is the shower of sparks it gives off. Bit dodgy in the barn so I usually drag it outside.

    I found this in an outbuilding, when I bought my home. Honestly officer. I love/collect hand tools so this was a great find. From the Luther Grinder Manufacturing Company in Milwaukee USA.

    Thoughts on Removing Wood from Woodland

    I tend to help myself to storm downed trees, not on my land. I cleared a public footpath recently. I just cut it all up and threw it into my field. Then its repeated long pushes with the wheelbarrow to home. Finders keepers style. Two footpaths were blocked so a service was down for the walkers...
