Deere-est's Bits n Bobs

[Deere-est]

Well here is what I was up to over the weekend, with a sheet of 0.8mm ply and some square dowl you can do endless little bits and bobs for your farm yard. Here are a few disposably type pallets, the sort you see down the builders merchants.

Here is what you need 3mm dowel not shown. A measuring tape, a straight edge, a craft knife and of course the madatory 0.8mm ply for the pallet planks. I cut them 4mm wide.

Use two planks to glue the dowel at the required distance, making sure it is square with one plant at either end. Then work your way from one end to the other, my spacings are a shade under 2mm.

Watch it Tris, or William will be reporting you to the RSPCA for doing a "scalpel job" on a cow.

I wonder if the police have caught up with him yet?

nice work Tris, most would probably have not thought of that or dare do it \ \ :)

Well blimey Tris that's some good thinking there mate. Did you attached the cows heads with glue or use a "dowel" so you can remove them later if need be?

Cracking idea either way

I'll do that next time!!!  :D

Glue for the moment. The standing cows stand too tall to put there head through which is a shame coz I wanted some eating and some with their heads up.

[Old Ford]

great Tris mate :P can you cut down the standing cows a bit, so there not so tall

[Deere-est]

May look a bit dwarf like with stumpy legs.

If they were real cows you'd have to dehorn them or they'd never get their heads back out of the barriers.

[Deere-est]

It's a bit of a fiddle for them but they can tur their heads sideways to get back through in the real world.

Bit more fiddling, I have glued all the pieces down on the shelves and the bench. What with the show to go to tomorrow I thought I would do it this way. It took over an hour just to set up the flipping workshop at Toytrac - with a pair of tweezers!! This should be better. Under the bench are various tool boxes, couple of oil cans and some of the bigger hand tools. Whilst on top are the more usage toolboxes and a tap and dye set. On the shelves, the firsr shelf is metal junk, always comes in handy; along with two diesel cans, a water can and a two stroke mix can. Above that are tractor spares and some hydraulic hoses and above that some axes out of the reach of the kids and some crates for various plumbing fittings, hunges, latches etc.
