New pictures in the park in Leamington Spa

I had a fantastic day Sunday taking my Folding Adirondack to the park in Leamington Spa. It wasn't a day out with a wooden chair, that would be silly.
No, it was a day for taking pictures of my chair for the revised website www.bigbearchairs.co.uk.

This last one was a favourite but for that poxy wire fence. But 20 minutes with GIMP photo editor later and we have.....

 Much better.

Bloody ipod Stand!

Today was a dark day in the woodshed.

I was knocking up an ipod stand for my buddy Austin. I'd cut the slot with my circular saw and it was looking good, although a little rough. Which is where the trouble started!

I decided to trim up the slot a little with my heavy tenon saw, I was using my thumb and fore finger as a guide when I slipped and (feeling faint) I cut my thumb!

I did the merry dance of pain, swearing and shouting for help from ma lovely.

One bandage and a cuddle later, peace fell upon the shed again.

Later I was using the power plane on the wood to tidy it up when it ripped the front section off, so I threw it in the rubbish bin.

Lesson of the day, don't use a tool for that what it wasn't intended, or you'll end up cutting yourself.
