Pretty much the middle of the Midlands here...
Just moved house. Collecting wood to make a bench in the garage, cabinets for tools and stuff. Looking forward to having the space and tooling to make accurate joints! Also, being able to keep wood, metal, and electronics away from each other (unless they're part of the same thing, obviously) which was quite an issue when I only had a shed to knackle in.
After that, well my muse doesn't seem to be working very well - I want to make stuff that isn't just because I need *thing", but just for the joy of it, but can't get past the mental barrier of "well, after I've made that, what do I do with it?" and the other mental barrier of "my imagination's broken!"
Also, some of the wood I've collected is nearly rotten - it gets quite interesting doesn't it? Has anyone used bad wood to decorative effect?
