Jez Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 They can Hang Jez... I've just pushed the posts into a suitable sizes hole in the wood for now.. I like them low as it stops them swinging when I bring them in from the garage :D - I lost a pair in the dirt last night :D Another bar on tyhe stile then... and another higher step then I guess Yes mate,another bar too......

Lord Ferguson Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 wow your getting the hang of this!!.....and i guess its all my fault for those spud boxes a few years back! :D :D Indeed... it is your fault... I was quite happy building cots for my daughters dolls until you came alone Holmes They are the bees knees, Marky - you need to get a layout built and have that post and rail fencing all round, it would be something else! Maybe another step and rail on the stile so the step form an 'X' when viewed from above... Thanks John... I don't have the time, space or patience for a layout right now... but maybe sometime in the future perhaps \ I can't add to this style... but I'll make a MKII model some time soon then... I understand the X bit too... I've seen that on google images I think \ i reckon he should go for a small type holding, like his mate Steve, few old MF's, couple of old implements and some land ;) Possibility Ben... I like that idea Yes mate,another bar too...... Like this: Thanks Jez... will do mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMullen Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 looking well as always mate, are you staining them or leaving them like that for spalding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks guys - I was planning on leaving them natural really... I thought I'd let my customers decide on the stain.. especially if they already have their own fencing to match up to... Anyway... the MKII stile (revamped MKI).... It's a bit 'snotty' as it's only a prototype... and it's just pushed together rather than glued... would look better cleaned up and stuck down I reckon \ - I'm planning on taking it to Spalding like this so you can buy it (for a small fortune :D ) and mount it on your own farm \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That's great Mark, just like the one I slipped on during the frost and subsequently walked home John Wayne style. I heard Wedding Bells all the way home, not the way I ever thought I would either. It was the sound of Jingle Bells made by my Wedding Tackle! :D PM Incoming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
