We have sun and wind this morning so gave it the first coat of 'leftover paint' from another project.

With everything pre-assembled to check fitting went ahead to finally glue and screw the legs.

Speckles in the workshop

After a dusting session in the chook run annex Speckles now busy pruning herself while waiting for me to come out to the workshop.

Pixie has taken to her new bed

Pixie is using her new heated bed more often, even during the day now (heat off).

This photo taken about 1.30pm today.

Nice timber off hard rubbish

Arrived home after the usual Monday shopping run with the shopping and - a bed

As posted annual council collection is this week and that bed was only a few doors down so ran back in the rain to grab that - some nice timber there

Now...a few doors down the other way someone has put out a washing machine so I'll 'borrow' that with a hand trolley, pull out the motor and related electrical stuff - and return.

Speckles sleeping in this morning

After a very busy day yesterday helping me in the garden and the workshop, Speckles decided to have a sleep in this morning.

Check out the time, usually she is up before 7.30am!

Continue on with the legs with a combo of compound mitre cuts, bandsaw cuts and even using the good old handsaw.

Cutting the angled cross lap joints in the sawhorse top for the four legs.

Back to the backyard to prune the Bay Leaf tree at the bottom of the garden.

Working my way across to the right.

Using the old sawhorse for bundling branches was too much for it in the end; the poor thing ended up lame. Oh well...we have another lock down project



No point reinventing the wheel, let's use the leg that broke off to transfer some measurements.

To help soften the blow I have posted this video of Al sharpening a chain saw blade

Started by dragging out the branches from yesterday's session out to the nature strip. Here we are prepping for the awful part of the job - branch bundling!

First thing - go find the old saw horse.
