Lockdown Job.

[Stormin 9,981]

 Had to find something to do before SWMBO found something for me. Had a load of wood lying, from my mate's new place over the border in Scotland. So out with chainsaw, sawbench and splitter.

 

 

Can't split the big stuff yet. No room.

 

 

The wood covered in the cage is for next winter. What we call Cyprus Leylandi. Kind of fir and needs at least two years before use.

 

These two were not much help. Just sat and watched.

 

 

There's more split stacked under the kitchen window and were the telegraph pole kindling is stored.

 

Now I'll have to find something else to avoid SWMBO's list.

How about giving the guy on the left a shave?

If that fellow on the bench won’t help just add HIM to the woodpile

Hey, is it just me, or does that look like @squonk waiting at the bus stop at the show?  Maybe that isn’t a beard at all, but Corona protection!

Doing today also my Lockdown Job,

 

firstly i reworked the Tillerengine with a centrifugal

 

 

than i cooked the Chain in an old Pot to remove the old Grease and put if to cooling in another,

but what i found changes my decision to order immediately a complete new Chain.

 

 

 

after dryed and removed all the old Grease, i see several damages on the Chain, they be allready hidden in the Grease.

 

So more time to spend for the new Chain.

What's the story with the VW bus?

 

[Stormin 9,981]

Something our neighbour across the green fond in a charity shop. SWMBO paints a thought she might used the canvas for a painting.

[tunahead72 2,403]

Hmm...  I just noticed the rest of that canvas.  What is that on the left, a crane of some sort?  And what's under the bus?  Is that what SWMBO painted, or is she going to paint over it, or on the other side?  Is that too many questions for one day?

[SylvanLakeWH 25,490]

That is a ski area tram car with the tower in the background and the front car painted to look like a VW Microbus...

[tunahead72 2,403]

Aha!  And the license plate says "ALPS 1"?  Cool!

 

Norm, I'm sorry, but SWMBO won't be allowed to paint over that, she'll have to find another project. 

 

[Stormin 9,981]

 

I'll tell her, though I doubt she'll take any notice. Seldom does of what I say.

 

Decide to split the rest of the logs today.

 

 

 

 

Should last us a while.

Years back I was given one of those little electric splitters, and I sort of laughed at it. After using it a couple of times its nothing to laugh at. Very capable little guy. Invaluable in the middle of winter when you need kindling. Use it right inside the garage.

Hi all, 

I have spent a couple of days cleaning down one of my workshops.  I now have a floor and several shiny machines where there was nothing but kelterment (local word for clutter) 

Another shop awaits me tomorrow.

[Mickwhitt 4,584]

looking a lot tidier now, I dont have to walk in sideways anymore.

Amazing how a good tidy up makes the shop look bigger.

Mick 

[Stormin 9,981]

 Your certainly not short of machinery, Mick. Well equipped workshop.

[rjg854 11,349]

fer sure about that, Stormin, bet he couldn't fit anything else in there, nice shop @Mickwhitt

[Mickwhitt 4,584]

Shop one is the machine shop, shop two is my woodwork and fabrication shop. A few bits and bobs in there but not as exciting as shop one.

Both are pretty tidy now so I will be starting making things again.

When the virus restrictions ease a bit i will be able to get on with things.
