Phase 2 of the Hide The Ugly Concrete With Greenery: I've built a bespoke planter and growing frame in the sun trap patio behind the garage. It gets the sun most of the day and is pretty sheltered so hopefully things will cover this quickly.

Next step is to line it and fill with soil and compost, but Mrs H can do that. I'm knackered.

Also shout out to my dad who offered to hold the poles vertical while I put it together.

A patio with a grey concrete fence first thing this morning. There are a couple of planks and flowerpots knocking about but the main issue is that the fence looks damp and mouldy and miserable even on a nice day.
A sunny patio later in the day with a long L-shaped planter made from decking boards running along the bottom of the fence, and a timber growing frame rising from the back of it, slightly higher than the fence. The frame has 3 horizontal lines of timber batten to affix netting or ties for plants

I got this wooden wood box I inherited from my Grandpa when he died. Month ago or so I found another box thrifting from the exact same workshop that made mine. I don't know who made them, but they're handcarved and using like proper hardwood, so whomever made them didn't do so out of like crunch.

The one I found thrifting was originally a gamebox, compartmentalized in two for dice and a stack of cards.
It was not really handy for me, since the lip of the upper was too big, making it super hard to take off. And the compartments was two small for anything.

So, I took the tedious task to grind slots into a hardwood box with a rotary tool with no torque and the smallest files in he world. A lot of wooddust later, two stripped brass screws, and an injury to my thumb later I finally got the hinges on :pikaAngryCry:

To make my box and it pop more, I also added some brass corner protectors and a lock to the new box, and I think it turned out really well :blobPikaHappy:

Two wooden boxes, lids closed. They're hardwood, and hand carved botanical patterns embossed in the wood. Bronze corner protectors and a lock been added by yours truly. The left is the one I got from my Grandpa, the right the one I found thrifting
Two wooden boxes, open. The left is filled with my sewing tools, the right empty, and showing off the installed hinges. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.

FibroJedi

Hey folks,

My non-blog week continues. Earlier, I made some progress on the end project for my #pyrography mini-course (the dragon outline).

I have a lot left to do on it, but it took me two attempts to burn an outline I wasn't completely dissatisfied with.

I'm now currently proofreading some of my fiction-writing. But my #Fibro pain is still really high, so I'll end up in a game soon.

A snapshot of my woodworking table, which is FAR too small. On it I have a coaster that says "There is always a way" in english and in one of my invented languages. Behind that is a Celtic-knot practice piece and an outline of a dragon that will form my project to end my pyrography mini-course.
