What did you do in the 'workshop' today

[jenkinsbrynmair]

.... labour was cheap and people were happy for enough money to live on

And whilst on the subject of craft/skills
I did various things in the 'workshop' yesterday - it doesn't matter what really but the thing is, given SWMBO's great faith in my inherited skills - passed down from my father (but consider please he died when I was fifteen) the more time I spend crashing,banging and sawing in the chamber of secrets (even if it's all I'm doing is cutting up a load of kindling for the old chapel fire) the better chance I have of her being convinced that the new pile of supers and broods that turn up this season were manufactured from scrap wood gleaned locally and some which I've bought at the local bargain depot.

Dismantled two four meter pallets with a home made pallet breaker ready to make a new shed, probably it would be easier and quicker to buy a new one but where's the fun in that.

Always fancied making my own shed from "scrap" but I can't seem to find any plans online and the book I bought turned out to be for american "Grizzly adams" type shacks D

Unpacked my Mann Lake National hive parts. Order 2nds and very pleased with the quality, £12 for super £16 for brood (including VAT.) Floors and roofs slightly more expensive than I could buy else where but they were 1st quality. Hive parts were not in the sale. On the whole pleased with the quality not so pleased with their accountancy and delivery.

Will probably use them again.
