It's been really busy since Christmas and I haven't had time to post anything. However, today I have had five minutes to sit down and catch up with things.

I had an order for four bird boxes for Starlings (30% larger than normal bird boxes) which wer parcelled up and posted today.

I also found time to take the oak flooring that I rescued from a friends log buirner pile, out of my car. I trimmed and surface planed a small piece to see how it came up ..... and it's lovely!

Look what one of my customers has done to one of my bird boxes. How great is that?

It’s just about finished. I ran out of silicon with a couple of windows to go and I need to get a couple of bits of brass hardware (door handle, door closer and door restraints) but the bulk of it is complete.

It’s turned out well.

Next is landscaping round the phone box and adding a bench - I need somewhere to drink my tea!

Thought I would quickly finish off the last batch of bay boxes - just assembly of components. Only take an hour…… or so I thought!

I’d only forgotten to glue up the roof panels - what a numptie!

Will be done tomorrow!

Today the last coat of paint went on the door frame and the base was painted black. Apart from the gold paint on the crowns, that’s all the painting done. Next is reassembling all the parts and installing the glazing.

Today I put together a bespoke order through Etsy for six stacking trays for drying flowers.

All of the wood cam from pallet bearers that I ripped to the required thickness, surface planed and then cut to size.

Really pleased with the final product.e

That’s all the painting done (need to get some gold paint for the crowns and black floor paint). Assembly comes next!

This morning I finally found time to get back to the phone box project. The outside got its final coat of GPO Red.!

I’m really pleased with the finish. It stands out against the green backdrop of the woodland.
