Come on bedmaker you'll have to give us more info than that - looks amazing!

It's an installation for the Belladrum festival last weekend. Kind of a steampunk theme to it.
It's a chunk of an old wooden trawler, it's 6M across the beam to give an idea of scale.

I built the steel roof to give the whole thing a heart shape

Then popped it on top of the boat and built a stove/steam boiler to go inside

Then it was filled with old stuff, brass instruments to vent steam out of and most importantly - three flamethrowers. I must get pics of them in action. One of them blasts out of the old toilet.
It all went down pretty well 🙂

Fantastic!

Just finished my sons cot bed

Was a challenge to build but he and the wife like it!

Wow. Sounds a wee bit cheesy but it looks like you made that with just love, no sawing etc. 🙂

Ormancheep- I'd love to make that as we have a space soon where the greenhouse currently is on a concrete base. Where did you get the door and did you simply measure up yourself/designed on the hoof by you or to a internet plan?

Hora, door if just a bit of loglap nailed to a z-shaped brace on the back.

Front skin is thin (I think 6mm) outdoor grade ply, just bent around the frame and screwed. Sides, floor and roof are 12mm outdoor ply.
Roof was then felted, battened out and 'shingles' nailed on, made from bit of treated feather board, with pilot holes pre-drilled.
Window frames were scored half way through at 1" centres on one side, so they would curve around the front skin.
There is a simple mezz floor inside too, with ladder.

All thrown together without any real measurements really, for that rustic look 🙂 You live local I think. You welcome to have a look, when you get round to doing yours.

I didn't price it up, just kept buying what I needed. Was scary how much it cost in the end (about £500), but I suppose it could have been much cheaper if I hadn't just kept going to B and Q.

Its to go here

BTW I couldn't interest you in a free greenhouse? I'd love to have a look, your in Stockport and I'm in Stretford.

No room for the greenhouse I'm afraid. I'll put email in profile.

Good work .
I like the steam punk look and the homemade stove 🙂

[i]In the process of cutting up an old LPG Cylinder to make in to a burner,re-cycling stuff is great fun[/i]

Awesome stuff Bedmaker

Another pimped Brompton 😉

I made a fantastic memory with my 16 year old daughter cycling 111 miles from home to Barmouth in a day, that will stay with me forever, and she made some money for a very worthy cause.

Foolishly dug by hand with a couple of £10 spades, a pickaxe and a pointy iron bar. Took four months and just finished this week...

next cabin work in progress

Nice steps (and the rest) Spooky.

dti - tell us more? Have I missed a thread with some backstory?

Top work Bedmaker. Anything with half a trawler in it good by me.

Nice work with the sleepers above too.

That's quite an impressive bunnyhop

Great thread this, only spotted it yesterday. Some assume skills on show.

My contribution is another pizza oven. Nearly finished now, just sorting the render on the base and a roof.

Oxfordan the cot is stunning!.. Love the design!.. One lucky baby boy ;))

I have no use for it as yet but didn't want to just throw out a dead rim!

Ha dude that is class!!... Perfik for the shed-workshop!
Best ideas are the simple ones! :))

Nice one - i wish I hadn't sold all my defunct 26" rims for £6 on ebay now. A wardrobe ful of those would be spot on!

It's nice to think that a decommisioned boat can live on. A friend of the previous owner saw it at the festival, the tag on the side is still just visible. He got quite emotional, although strong drink had been taken 🙂

Here she is [img][url= http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4138/4860475057_8187b614a8_z.jp g" target="_blank">http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4138/4860475057_8187b614a8_z.jp g"/> [/img][/url]

Nixie, that's my next project. What materials did ye use? Did you source clay locally?

[IMG] [/IMG]

Nobeerinthefridge, its a clay/sand inner dome using bought in clay, then clay/woodchip insulation and clay/sand shell, the outer 2 layers used locally source clay (from a stream).

Some seriously creative and talented people on this forum. Just finished these, Mrs tthew saw some at the garden centre for £100 each - 😯 - and even though I had to buy the wood they cost about 1/4 of that to make.

[img] [/img]

64 wooden slats cut with a hand saw and mite box was quite time consuming mind.

Today I've made a pouch to carry a couple of inner tubes/tyre levers and patches

Not something I've made, but for sheer awesomeness and attention to detail, [url= http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/expedition-vehicles/955676-mah-deuce.html ]this thread about converting a military truck to a mobile home[/url] is amazing.

Yunki- that cake is awesome!!!!!! Wow! Clever lady...

Tthew- they are absolutely beautiful ! It shows you've worked hard for those....!

By eck there's a lot of clever people on here !
