Shepherds Hut Pt 2.
When building a boat one of the most common complaints is in the perennial lack of clamps. It seems that the same affliction has befallen this project... having said that, it has been pointed out to me that far from a shed on wheels this hut resembles an inverted boat on a trailer. Without a nail gun in sight, the screws hidden in here number over 4000! And there in over 1 1/2 litres of polyeurathane glue concealed between the boards.
The old oak double glazed windows have cleaned up a treat. As to incorporating angles into things I question why i bother sometimes as the maths is a bit too much... but its worth it to sit on the finished item and have comfy bottom!
Chunky sturdiness and functionality is the theme with all of the woodwork. I doubt the average shepherd had it this good in the old days,
As the job begins to finally take shape the Blacksmith next door offers to forge some shepherds crook shaped curtain poles. Now that spring has sprung the Mrs. also comes down to supervise the application of the exterior colours. Sometimes I don't know what i'd do without them!
I'm aware that iv'e probably exceeded the attention span of your average internet user these days... so heres a picture of some kids setting fire to stuff!
Taking care not to listen to the news in case the uncontrollable laughter at our unelected, right wing, brexiteering, frothing at the mouth, sheep flock of a government lessen our concentration; the finished article is carefully loaded onto a trailer and expertly delivered to its final resting place in west wales.
Skepticism about the safety of our careful winching technique eventually drew the oopaloompah's out of the chocolate laboratory.

Begging for habitation the hut is ready for a duvet, a bit of kindling in the stove, and the kettle on.
The thanks I owe to so many people that have supported me to bring this project to fruition know who they are... and my heartfelt thanks, love and respect goes out to all of them...x
