1952 Vincent Black Lightning

Finished off the stove (nearly)

The last job to do on  the wood burner was to fit the flue pipe and get it out the end wall. First, I needed a hole to poke the flue pipe through! Out with the marker pen and drill...
... Next the cold chisel and block hammer...
... Trial fit...
Finally, offer up the main pipe and clamp it down...
And from the outside...
Lastly I cemented everything in and while I was at it, I added an external light so I can sit out and sup a cold one in the darker evenings. I reckon the shed [now officially known as the "Drey"] is looking pretty damn cool.

More work done in the Drey

After completing the building of the shelves comes the stacking of the shelves. This task was taken on in a semi ruthless fashion with everything not obviously important now getting binned. Bit drastic, but I have been guilty of hoarding and 7 year old tins of paint ain't never going to be any use.
Neat ain't it.

Also been busy making a very thin wall cupboard for my sash clamps.

Now all I have to do is make doors for them all! Sadly, cash is running out and I have my Ireland trip to pay for, so for now I'm slowing up and enjoying a bit of summer.
