End of an Era - No More mini Beds!

Well that's it - no more cot beds in the house. End of an era!


My youngest (4) is finally out of his cot bed into a cabin bed I've made him. He's super excited and already made a den under there. His room is tiny so it's a great way to gain a bit of space.



 I made the bed out of pine so it didn't cost too much. I've also used some fixing that can be easily taken apart alongside some loose mortice and tenons (domino joinery).

I had a high sleeper growing up and loved it so I hope he does as well.

Ideal Christmas Gifts For Gardeners

I've been working as hard as one of Father Christmas's Elves these last few weeks trying to make stock to sell via Etsy and other means.  I thought I'd put a few in a post here just encase people didn't know what I made or sold.  My most popular item is my range of potting trays.

I do four different sizes off the shelf and also make some to order (although not now before Christmas: Medium - 40cm x 58cm Large - 54cm x 58cm Jumbo - 54cm x 78cm Jumbo Shallow - 40cm x 78cm I also make a range of seed boxes. Ideal to organise your seed collections in.  For these I make some with new timber and hand carve the word "SEEDS" on the front of each one. I then cut the hinges in by hand and finish them with two coats of Danish oil. These are made in two sizes Carved wood seed box Medium - 30cm x 20cm Carved wood seed box Large - 40cm x 30cm And I also make a range of boxes from reclaimed timber. I've been strugglin...

Own Meat Birds Get A Step Closer

Image
 So with some really poor hatch rates from posted eggs I decided that it was time to buy a few hens so we could actually start to hatch out our own eggs. I already have some fine Indian Game cockerels to run with them.  There is a Facebook group about rearing meat for the table and through that I got in contact with someone who had some young Indian Game pullets for sale. So I took a trip into deepest darkest Wales (via a small saw mill that had some specialist timber I was after) to buy some!  Of course I ended up buying more than just this!  He sold a trio of Plymouth Rock Hens, which when crossed with an Indian Game will produce a great meat bird (And this cross was used in the orginal Chicken Of Tomorrow competition so I have high hopes). I also got 4 Indian Game POL pullets so I should be able to keep a pure flock of these going as well. But hopefully the Plymouth Rock hens will lay enough eggs in the next few weeks to get another batch in the incubator and repl...
