Dad as a kid…

Here I am at 19 swapping my blown up motor in the Ford Anglia before heading to work the next day in it… Those were the days!

Cart Project for Sarah

For this project I converted an old mower trailer to a cart for Sarah for feeding out. Took about a day, nice and easy and gets used every day!

Kitchen for the Workshop

Well the old crusty BBQ table finally died so what did I do? Make it into a kitchen for the garage of course! Check out the old ford tailgate under the glass…

New floor in the workshop!

Dads new huge mezzanine taking shape! This will keep the pesky bird poo off my tools! Good storage space too!

Mods to Sarah’s Truck

Sarah’s truck is cute but the internal layout needed love. The horses faced the wrong way, was a tight squeeze and there was no access to the front. We tried it with the horses and they got on but it wasn’t pretty with Grace. Mr H is a dude though. So here’s what we’ve done this week.

New dividers and gates thanks to Mustang Floats. New ply on walls, ply stained, 4x outside tie-ups, a new shelf on the door, brackets, hooks and saddle mounts all fitted. Also a new fabricated rug rack. I’ve painted the old blue steel now. Looks good, and we got both the horses up and on there!

Dad’s new project…

Yup! I got the itch again… Those who knew me in the earlier days will understand I’ve had and done a few classics… This is the new project. No great rush, just going to chip away at it. Not hotrodding it, just going to turn into a patina’d daly driver. Plan to have this for a few years…

It’s a 1954 Ford F100 pickup. From California originally, left hand drive. Motor is a Y-Block 272 V8, has 4 barrel holly carb. Plenty of bits missing but I’ll sort that.

Jack’s new bookcase

Another project emerges from my workshop! This is Jack’s new bookshelf and laptop table. Not too shabby from some cheap wood! Looks and works great!

How to make a Berley Bomb!

Easy! Grab a few pipe fittings and hardware from the hardware store, drill some holes and screw it together! Job done and works well!
