I know that you wouldn't have a lawyer without those hours.


Exactly why they're so expensive per hour of delivered product

To truly make brownies from scratch, one must first invent the universe.

When did Nick first learn to swing a hammer? A very long project indeed

Only the people you invite. Besides, a few suitable scowls and some barbed comments gets the message across.

Sheepskins. Warmer, comfy and can be bought from small producers. Do not attempt upholstery, it’s the very definition of PITA.

Bench looks great though, where do I order one? I’d really like one that swings from a frame, though. You know with a canopy over. In blue.....

nick, you have a new business or lockdown hobby:lol:

the skins and simple padding seems ideal

a steer hide over it
and
a bag of packed soft stuff to fit the seat under the hide(which is pretty easy) or better still a couple of folded bleater skins above the hide

that would be well stylish and only a roll of skins to carry out when you need them

vote 2 mutton, one steak

Making them and sticking them on eBay has been suggested. I CBA, but I have two lads who *could* churn them out, because they have no incomings and plenty of outgoings.

Cost is about £30 to build, not including time.

Also, love the sheepskin idea. Why doesn't Rob sell them any more?

Anyone know a supplier?

And, yes. She also said it would be great if I could make it swing, and have a canopy. Do you lot all get instructions from one Central Mad Woman?

if they had a belt sander to run over the parts they would be fine indoors in the right settings
