Old wheels

[miller1098]

Got a couple of jobs ive promised to do for dome friends and one of them was putting legs on a piece of oak that was used at a wedding of a a neighbour and the guests all signed it . It's going to be a coffee table, Ive got hold of some spokes from an old cartwheel i think will do the job.as a practice ive made some bottle holders they make unusual gifts with a nice story. Im not sure my Z wheels will make the same impression in a 150 years from now

I know ,it’s like finding gold I just collect al I can but it’s nice if you can get a story behind it and some of the best bits are burnt

I’ve never been paid for anything I’ve made lol.Butive given a load of stuff away and the amount of time you put into something would make it expensive so I guess it’s a hobby .Heres some cottages we did earlier https://zroadster.org/threads/build-your-own-car-park.7279/

Huw, you are far too modest mate. I remember our first meet at Torksey, when Frankie appeared, you had made Dave a great plaque for his Shed.
