Railway Carriage Mk II.

At the back end of last year we were commissioned to build another Railway Carriage. Much the same as the first one and also different. We're trying some different things on this one from the last.

We had made a start earlier in the year and its coming along quite well, however things are slowing down on the build as we are having problems getting hold of materials during the lock down.

This one is going to be 16ft long x 8ft wide and quite a bit different from the shepherds huts on the outside, however the interior will be fitted to our usual standards, insulated all round, and it will be painted. It will have a bed, a sink and multi-fuel stove, and a separate room with storage cupboards at one end.

Like the first one, this one will have two doors to get inside. Out side lights and be painted in what ever colours the customer picks out.

Sides have been treated with epoxy, the windows primed.
Next is a coat of epoxy on the ends

View from the end door

Roof cladding is western red cedar.
Will then be covered in EPDM

Wooden signs and other things.

This is just a collection of signs and benches that John carved using the CNC machine for people or himself.

The benches are oak or cedar, depending on whether they are for inside or outside use and also on personal preference. People have them for all sorts of reasons, wedding gifts, anniversaries, birthdays, just because it's the right size for a nook in a house.

The signs and plaques are much the same. Some are house signs, others are for dens and sheds, they are all decoration as well.

The New Shed

After a busy 2019, and lack of blogging, we started the new year with the building of a new workshop.

January is not the best time of the year to start any outdoor projects, but it had to be done. We don't really remember what the weather was doing, just that it was cold.

Everything takes twice as long as you think and usually costs twice as much too, but we got it up and running by the end of February and managed to re-cycle a lot of materials from the old sheds that had been dismantled to make way.

We are very happy with the end result, sliding doors and all, and have the solar panels from the old sheds powering a few auxiliary lights.

A new concrete floor went in as well, which is currently a dust creator as we are still waiting to seal it. That should be possible in the next couple of weeks.

These photos were taken in April 2020. Much better now the Shed is Painted.

Its Been a While.

Seems like we've been ignoring this blog for far too long, we've been busy doing stuff and just not got round to it.

Anyway:

We will be exhibiting at the Three Counties Show in Malvern from 15th  to 17th June with at least one Shepherds Hut, but hopefully 2 (if we get it finished in time)

We will also be attending The Shrewsbury Flower Show  in August, but more on that to come in the next post.

Also to come details of the "other stuff"  we've been up to

The 3 Counties show was a great success, and very enjoyable.
thanks to every one who visited our stand.
