Agh the washing machine drum, I am a sentimental old fool. This drum was the beating heart of a Zannusi . We had it for 12/ 15 year's. Two call outs for calcification in the pipes . In a soft water area it might still be in use . It was the bearings In the end that went . So it felt good making this piece , like a thank you to an inanimate object . Well it is a robot and I'm sure it won't be long before Alexa is on our washing machines!!! If you have not seen the episode of the simpsons will H.A.L in charge of homers futuristic House I highly recommend .
So a bit of work here too, removing the drum cover ! Ooh la la .
Angle grinder again . Got some stainless steel chain and a new electrical trial light fitting and bulb. Had to reinforce the base with a metal plate . Voila the lamp can be lowered down if needed . The cable is 1.2 metres long. More chain length also if needed to hand on a higher ceiling. I Intend to make a tall lamp stand next time. I am happy with the outcome it is similar to a moroccon lamp shades light dispersal.

I have a few woks in various sizes, nothing fancy. They are round bottomed woks which require a stand or trivet to keep them In a stable position especially if using hot oil. I decided to use a brake calliper as a trivet . I use one side for woks and the other for flat pans .It works well and diffuses the heat at the same time . I may add a timber or rubber plate underneath for use on delicate Surfaces . These Trivets come in a range of colours and can be customised to suit also .

Solid beach breakfast table , This was made about Ten years ago . It was in response to my mother questioning my storage of raw materials in her shed which is fair enough I suppose. The Timber was very green when I made it , hense their was considerable weight on top of a tiled floor. To add to the problem a lot of weight was focused on a single leg. In order to minimise the pressure and not crack the tile underneath I utilised an old shock absorber from a motor bike .
Voila problem solved , there is a slight bounce on the table when leaned on heavily.
The Tiles were supposed to be replaced with a large charcoal slate , life got in the way and they are still upsetting my picture.
