Deere-est Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Mark I'd be interested in signposts for sure, unpainted for me too. Let me know how you egt on and whether you do any and I'll confirm numbers. The woodwork you have shown us already is perfecto, reslly really well done mate. Will you be doing an extending alu one too? Be interested in that as well The gates look terrific but I have to say no to them otherwise I won't be building anything on the Leverets expansion myself. ... even if they are better!! And Graham. . . that's one busy a$$ place you got going on there mate. Hope the Volvo turns up soon mate. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Here's tomights attempts... the sign as promised... I've also made one with 4 signs on it... quite simple really to make.... I've painted that white... pics when it's dry - it will need denibbing before it gets another coat... but I'll get it up when it's done So you can see the size... Also... someone asked me how I hang my gates... here is a pic of my idea... I am sure there must be a better way mind you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 You always were good with your hands darling Those gates look amazing.

DMullen Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 looks great marky , cant see anything wrong with that method for hanging the gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 thanks buddeeee.... I've now mastered how to glue the gates without all the glue showing... that's superglue... I'm now using wood glue which dries clear - hence why I have kept that gate for myself.. I get all the cr@p ones :'( :D You always were good with your hands darling Those gates look amazing. I'm in the process of making a special order of a Ford Service Van, but am struggling to find good pictures of Ford Tractors \ :D - thanks Mandy... There are no GOOD pictures of Ford Tractors... in fact... there are no GOOD Ford tractors looks great marky , cant see anything wrong with that method for hanging the gates. thanks buddy.... they are quite sturdy I know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
