Guy's if any one is interested, I have this heavy as hell Polish sleeping mat.

It's the kind only a Tanker or Logistics guy would have, and it's VERY late 80's I'll weigh it tommorrow and measure it again so you can calculate your PnP but it's free (I would like a donation to the IAPF or Hackers 4 Charity made however) but that's not essential as I just want this thing gone from under my bed. It's really freaking comferatable but just BIG there is no way of compressing it. The dest way I can describe it as is the matt in the back of your land rover that you use that one time your snowed in but it made it feel like your own bed at home minus the wife an / or dog for comfort.

It is going to be around 36cm x 26cm in size. I made it using wood from my neighbours pile and the glue is currently setting. I've made a few of these and use them without issue. Once the glue has set I will plane it then sand it down.

*edit*

Should say, I wont oil it however as I recently found a neighbour had an allergy to the mineral oil I used and frankly I don't want to run that risk.

Pics of the chopping board (It still needs a bit of sanding but I'm out of sandpaper).

Front of the board, hook added so it can be hung up for a camp

Whole Board

Dodgy corner, not rounded very well, they're all like that

Outer wood is flattened bamboo from old furniture from my neighbour, centre is just a solid piece of scrap from my neighbour. Measures in at 36cms by 26cms. Not perfect but I think its a good job. Ready to send out (does need final fine grain sanding then an oiling. I will not do the oiling due to the last one I made, the person got an allergic reaction to the oil used).

Got the Gaz Cooker, thank you. I am in the process of stripping the paint off it, will give it a short sharp sandblast to remove any rust spots from the pins that hold the pans etc, and maybe a fresh lick of paint (or not, depending on how well it polishes up)
