Joint failure

As seen in Calke Abbey today.

Over marked joints and a shim added!

Evidently they have rooms full of broken furniture stored away, I would love to have a look round them.

Such a shame, when they have tidy, well equipped workshops for all sorts of repairs...

(I was there on Sunday! )

I spoke to one of the volunteers who reckoned if I got in touch with the National Trust they might let me look around the broken furniture.

I loved the blacksmith shop I wanted to get in and bash metal, I fancied the blue leg vice on the floor!

And the scaffolding!
