[i]samuri, hurry up and get filling it with wood before the local smokers start using it to shelter from the rain!![/i]
😉 I've done my best. My friendly tree surgeon is pissing me off though. I've been asking him for weeks now to start delivering wood but he's not done so yet. He says he has loads of wood to bring round, '5 big trees' he says. hmmm. We'll see.
Only got this far with wood I sourced elsewhere.

There are indeed some very talented and creative people here 8)
One of my latest projects for a friend and his family. They had a rather large Eucalyptus tree in their garden and a couple of years ago, got it felled and we sorted someone to come along with his mobile band-saw to plank it up and we racked the boards, thinking that we could do something with the wood, apart from burn it 🙂
It was decided that I was to make them a bookcase.
When is a bookcase, not a bookcase?

Ah yes, saw your post on the frame building forum too. That's obsessively good.
Thanks Kayak, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, especially as the design was in my head!
Hey yunki, I like that! 8)
Wanted one of those laser handlebar alignment gadgets. Didn't want to pay £65 for one. So got a £5 laser off of eBay:

😀
is that to make your handlebars point the same way as your front wheel?
Yup - will be very handy in the workshop.
I like that, tell us more.

First set of spokes with an antique spoke machine - 36 spokes cut and rolled in 18 minutes, that'll do nicely 😉
