Richard Perkins my tutor for the permaculture course commented that I need to take time out and relax, Its a great hang over cure !!!
Working on other projects with friends.
Mark an old friend asked me about a pit green house, I told him that I called them earth sheltered greenhouses he decided to build 1 so I told him I would help. We needed a digger driver and Dave the guy helping me on most of my projects said he could drive so it began. Mark designed the greenhouse using information from the web and books after the pit was completed with shuttering the concrete was poured 2 weeks later.
This was an interesting project learning new skills and refreshing old ones, the video looks good too.

Other small projects Knife making mini project.
When working in the garden and on the allotment I use a small knife for cutting vegetation back when I miss placed this I made a new knife in about 2 hours the design was based on knives I have used when gardening and Japanese rice knife.
There are no plans on paper the idea was clear in my mind. I have a good workshop and the recycled materials were to hand, each component was made by eye and intuition. The result is easy to use however, I may add a small counter weight to the handle to give a more natural balance to the knife. |
