Soda'd out

Ok that is a quick foray into retro soda creates.  Massive fun and really enjoyable for my children who had to join in with sanding painting and of course ...health and safety! 
So, that's paint effects played with, I think the next stop is to fiddle around with some wood staining. ...

Rapid aging

Well that's about 40 years in 10 minutes. ... Now I'm thinking of turning it into a child's toy wagon. .. Some wheels will be the next acquisition I think.

Something like the real thing

Well,  you can tell how much I'm enjoying myself by the rapidity of progress.  That is all the stenciling finished, now for the final physical weathering, all paint effects up until now.  Not sure how beat up to make it. ... Time to stick it and see.

Ticking over

Last week, some slate was delivered for the front garden not massively exciting, I grant you - but I was left with a pallet and a hankering for some random creativity. A few quick scribbles and calculations and a pry bar later, it was off to get the tools and get cracking.
I decided to turn my pallet into a vintage soda crate, for only a few hours work, I'm enjoying the results and the distraction of a little side-project.
Still in the early stages, here is a progress shot.
