Deere-est Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Having now seen it I am still no further forward in understanding quite how something like this can be achieved without running short of expletives during the building ofit. Although a little birdie told me Damien does have a condition which leaves him intolerent to hot solder. . .. It's the eight wonder of the world.

JCB BLOKE Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Everybody has a weakness Tris... and hot solder is mine!! Thanks for all the comments folks..it was good to finally get it out of the house and on display, but I was a bit dubious how it would fair on the journey down - didn't do too bad though 'cos it just lost one door hanging and a corbel. Toytrac '09 is a bit debatable at the moment, we will just have to see what happens later in the year with the work situation. I am now sat back at the table with the tweezers and snips again - dry stone walling! It was really good to meet everybody again - and I must say a very big THANK YOU to Roger & Val for making space for my building on their stand. Dad's Tractors really helped set it off. ps...I think you all know now who is typing this now - his hands are busy with the tweezers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have got about 18" of the way with the walling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have got about 18" of the way with the walling. i dare say if you gave up on the wall & decided to use toffee apple & lolly sticks to fence it, the end result would be equally impressive ! cant add much to whats been said except i did look gaze at this at spalding it's an exceptional piece of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
