Up cycling

Hi all,
Sorry to say that I haven't made much progress with the oyster box since my last post. Here it is so far.
I need to make the top piece, sand it down to shape and add the hinges. I hope to do all of that before my next post. The reason progress has been slow is because my wife decided to de-clutter our dining room, which meant a trip to the jolly old tip, a trip to the charity store to donate some nice but no longer required items.

A wall cupboard and side board were also declared redundant and, I while I could make use of the wall cupboard in my workshop the sideboard would need to be cut up small enough to fit into our Nissan Micra before going to the tip. Anyway, while I was dismantling the sideboard I decided that I could use the wood to make a nice bit of furniture to store art pads and the like, so I set about it with my scroll saw and here is the result. Not bad, all my art pads and other flat items are now all in one place.
Before I go, I'm pleased to let the followers of this blog that one of my books, "No Fishing In Here" which contains a collection of short stories is free today and tomorrow (25th and 26th Feb 2016). To get your free download, just click on the books link at the top of the page and then click on the book.

I hope you enjoy it.
