Here’s a very quick thing I did this weekend!
I’ve finally had a much-needed new bath fitted in my bathroom, and had left the old one in the garden awaiting cutting up into manageable pieces prior to disposal. In addition to the main fibreglass and chipboard construction the bath had two framework legs with levelling screws on, [...]

Washboard!

Look what I’ve just found in a junk pile. . .
I’ve always wanted one of these (what with my predilection for things that make musical sounds, and all…) and I fervently hope it’s going to be possible to rejuvenate it into a both attractive and useable piece. It’s clearly seen better days – the wood is pretty [...]
Wind Chimes Part II – Work In Progress. . .
Posted in Visual art, tagged chimes, copper, wind chimes on January 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve had a real mental block / crisis of will-power recently regarding completion of my wind chime project. I’ve no idea why it’s continuing to be such a difficult project to complete, but a really nice comment on Part I of the work from a lady called Kristie has inspired me to crack on [...]
Faster than the fastest thing ever?

My great friend GG just gave me a tin of the following stuff, which previously I’d never even known existed but to which I am now a firm convert!
Called ’super glue activator’, it’s a spray-on chemical that instantly causes superglue-type adhesives to set fast. Now I always thought superglue was pretty fast in setting anyway, [...]

I thought I’d share a small (yet highly treasured) addition for ‘Clivey’s Shed’, again acquired over the dreaded New Year / Birthday Interregnum of 2008. . .
. . . it’s very exciting being me!! (I’m being ironic here, of course. . .)

I thought I’d post up the following logo that I’ve recently completed for a new client - for no other reason than I’m quite pleased with it and wanted to show it off a bit!
It’s for a high-end car restoration firm, and I’ve taken a ‘classic car’ look / feel for the general approach. It’s not [...]
Thing of beauty!

I thought I’d share one of my top presents of Xmas 2008 with y’all…
Ever since I saw a builder chappy (aka Big john) using one of these earlier in the year, I’ve been obsessed with getting one. Imagine my delight therefore when some kind Santa (aka again, the very generous Lesley!) gave me this [...]
Happy New Year. . . and Competition Results!

Firstly, Happy New Year to everyone. . .!
Mine NY was better than some / worse than others, but as always I’m pretty relieved it’s all over and life can get back to a bit of ‘normality’. I hope this year turns out well / better than last for us all – 2008 was an odd [...]
