The Wee Red Barn

I made an old style piggy bank that you need to break open to get your cash from. I figured if it looks pretty it's gonna be harder to break open once you start saving.

We're down at Magdalen Green for Dundee Westfest. Come down and see all the many things, like fairground rides, long men, people with dogs, and so many food stalls. We'll be here til 8 so plenty of time to come see

Trying to get some more boxes finished up for Dundee Westfest this coming Sunday, this one was going to be another chest, but I felt like it needed to be something different. It's gonna have a wee tray in the top and a separate compartment in the side so things aren't all just jumbled about.

Again, I am unsure how to end this so here's a random fact:

Did you know that Edam cheese was used as cannonballs in 19th century naval battles.

If you didn't, now you do

Had an idea for using up some of the wee offcuts that I can't throw away, and now I'm sticking the offcuts of that project together to make something else. I have offcuts from that which I've already started turning into something else.

I'm not sure where I'm meant to stop.

Another market today, this one has the weather to go with it. If you're like me and you've not been outside for a while then today's a good day to remind yourself what the big orange thing in the sky is.

I'll be at Canvas with .yard.market from 12-5 today, come say hi and support local

I'll be at the steeple church tomorrow from 11am - 4pm with .yard.market for my first market of 2026. Come help support local businesses, and in exchange you'll get some cool hand made stuff and a fictional story about what happened to my hand (it's actually not that interesting so fiction is better)

I'll be at the market in the main concourse of Ninewells Hospital today, come see all my cool stuff. I'm conveniently right by the cash machine...

I have made a list and checked it twice. There's probably still a typo in there somewhere. Regardless, these are all the upcoming markets I've been lucky enough to be invited to.
The first one is the Christmas lights turning on ceremony at the city Square this weekend, from 10am til 4pm, so you should come down and see me and the other vendors for some cool stuff from local small businesses. I heard Satan will be there too, so come see him before he starts his world tour in December.

I'll be posting some of the bits of wood I'll be selling at these markets so keep your ears peeled for that.

I'm excited to be at the grand return of .yard.market to Canvas this evening, bringing many things made of wood. If you're looking for somewhere to chill and support some local artists and small businesses then you should swing by. There'll be stalls, food trucks, a bar, and it's dog friendly so you can bring your pup if people aren't your thing.

Doors open at 6.30pm so come unwind after work and probably pet some dogs? Also support local small businesses.

Look forward to seeing you there
