Marky Ferguson's Workshop and those Bl**dy potato boxes !!!

[Lord Ferguson]

Getting on with (and pretty fed up with) potato box production.  Another 40 ready to go now Ben - should have 60+ by the end of the weekend if the wife & kids let me get on with it

[MJB1]

why all the fuss about finding something to make them look dirty? ?

the best thing for that is do what i did ,get a small ammount of dirt & make them dirty? :)

the waxed ones look ok but they're all the same as the un-waxed ones , but darker ,by applying different pressures each box looks different :)

[THEBRITFARMER]

Show off  :D

They look great though Marcus 

[Lord Ferguson]

I'll back him up on that, if he hadn't of offered to show me his tools? : I'd probably be on box number 3 by now using a small hacksaw and hobby knife to cut the wood! :D :D

cheers Mark!

I'll get you some Hamlet next time i'm over!? :)

Thanks Ben - Hamlet Filters if that's Ok  - A don't tell everyone I've shown you my tool - I'm having enough trouble on here with the likes of MCM and Powerstar calling me the only *** in the village as it is  :D :D

[Lord Ferguson]

Brilliant Marcus - That's the answer Ben  - And as for marking them first THEN making them aged - Fantastic as well ! - Looks like we've got our own self-appointed boxe ager on the forum now then 

[MJB1]

Er ,bit of common sense really , if you want something to look dirty ,make it dirty :D :D

[Lord Ferguson]

Some of us havn't got a dirty mind Marcus  :D :D

[FB]

:D

it is obvious really! :)

i'll pop round the parents later and see if i can get some dirt :)

[THEBRITFARMER]

So I'll have 20 boxes then Mark, ship em off to Marcus when ready to be distressed, then Marcus can ship em off to chilly Canada ? :D :D :D

[Lord Ferguson]

[MJB1]

i'll be the one who's distressed ?if i had to do all the ones mark did :D

[Lord Ferguson]

It's only fair - caused me great distress making the bl**dy things 

[FB]

yeah but they are perfect! ;D ;D, there is nothing out there really, Britain's boxes are pointless unless they decide to change the design \

3 months until Spalding  ;)

[MJB1]

even if britains did change the design  i wouldnt get any, not now anyway these are perfect & look the part  :)

[Lord Ferguson]

yeah but they are perfect! ;D ;D, there is nothing out there really, Britain's boxes are pointless unless they decide to change the design \

3 months until Spalding? ;)

I wish I had the time to make loads - but sadly I don't  - Could revert to the old kit form versions I suppose - problem being the finishing of them though - they need a belt sander to do them properly

[FB]

they are indeed....

Britians are too small, more small veg boxes ? \

[Lord Ferguson]

[NewHolland2]

Ah no trouble Mark. I'll get a pic after tea. I've got a couple of new models to take pics of anyway...... ;)

[Lord Ferguson]

Thanks Martin... you shouldn't have so many worthwhile models - serves you right (I'm only jealous)

[NewHolland2]

[Lord Ferguson]

[NewHolland2]

The Gold Ford didn't and half of the other one did  :'( :'(, just off for some tea  . Speak to ye later Mark.

[FB]

[Lord Ferguson]
