FURNITURE

My blog is of my creations, My furniture, using wood I have collected from here and there, occasionally buying some to make up the difference.
My design is often based around what I have available.
Comments welcome, thanks for your visit.

Feast or Famine

Roof window
Its not an excuse for the lack of postings during the last 2 months, its not even a promise to post more often, it's just feast or famine and today its a feast.
Bracket
I have a window in the roof I suspect it leaks a little, the sun belts in and cooks the house during summer, the weather boards on either side of the window were not painted prior to being installed and were showing signs of age, so holiday job, remove all boards and replace with new well painted ones, I had removed and rebuilt the window over the previous 2 months, the idea of a roof over this window and some of the other windows around the house has whirled around in my head for a long time now so this is the chance to give it a go.
The material to use for the roof was in some ways easy, stainless steel, no fuss, long lasting, quick, the brackets to hold up the roof was also easy, a nice curve mortise and tenoned into the vertical and rafter all pre-made and painted over the last 2 months, in fact it was all pre-made and has preoccupied my head for 2 months now, no it's not an excuse for not updating the blog for the last 2 months.
But.
Happy New year
