Tell us all what your up to during isolation..... Over the last three days I have been..... A carpet fitter Prepping for the zombie apocalypse An auto technician
No different to normal, overloaded with man cave work now. I’ve been a hoarder and as much as I get grief from the wife (who's as bad) for hoarding it’s now paid off. I’ve > Plenty of bolts screws and fasteners Plenty of wood Sheet steel, Box section, Plenty of tools, Abundance of heat when needed Plenty of paints and lacquers as I’ve enough to mix most shades of what I’m going to need, Plenty abrasives, 1000 slitting discs, five bikes to work on to hand.... And NO FOOKING BOG ROLL!
I’ve been painting the fences in our garden but have now run out of paint and can’t get any more at the moment, so today I’ve started building this model.
I used to fit towbars, they are really easy if you buy the correct kit for your car and the wiring was a simple snap fit thingy that splices into your cars existing wiring. It was awhile back but I can't imagine they have changed much
I've not got any photos, but in the last week I have: > cleaned and jet washed the patio > cleaned both bikes and covered them in acf50/fs365 and tucked them up in the garage > cleaned out both garages and piled up a load of rubbish ready to go to the dump as soon as the lock down is lifted > painted the fence at the front of my cottage and finally spent far to much time on the forum, but hey ho it has been fun.
Been making a camping wood-stove out of some 4 mm sheet I had left over from making the Seat under-pan on my old legend... photos when I finish... made a lasagne, fiddled in my music studio... now cracking a beer ready to fall asleep in front of the telly
Visited my garage improv gym, remortgage paperwork completed (gonna save shit loads and truck and bike fully paid off), cleaned (proper cleaned) induction hob, cleaned out (partially) the pond
Silly boy ! You can make a camp oven out of a cardboard box. I did once and baked a small cake. You can learn lots of outdoor skills by being a member of various groups.
Fitted 12volt lighting in my work shed, turned up some handles for a wardrobe door. Made clamps for holding my saws in the tool box (30 years late, but better late than never, eh?) Spent a load of money on amazeBay..... I have a photo of my Dad taken somewhere in Germany with a couple of his mates, stood in front of a bren carrier, so have bought a 1/35 scale model kit of a bren carrier and some tamiya figures, and am going to make a diorama using the photo as the inspiration. Here's the photo.... My son coloured this from the original with an app. Dad's the one in the middle. Model kits have gone up in price a bit since I last bought one.... Might buy me a Tiger too
Yeah that's right. Those where the days, kids of today have it too easy. Bloody Greta Thunberg, wants a good kick up the arse that one!
