A nice rustic touch
Thanks I enjoyed making them and kept me out of trouble for a couple of days.
I'm a chippie by trade and it's the last thing I would want to do when I get home !! Don't forget to line the screw heads up. 
I've retired now from supervising or advising manufacturing but always enjoyed making things so now have loads of time to think of projects and it beats watching TV.I'm a chippie by trade and it's the last thing I would want to do when I get home !! Don't forget to line the screw heads up.
Not many like a Busman's holiday although some might say it's what I do. But I do what I do through choice rather then having to.
Now there's thing,
Note the centre caps and "Shiny" valve caps.

Correctly aligned and torqued, of course. Don't want to have to start a "loose nuts" thread.

I've nearly finished the pallets from the neighbours and done as I was instructed by the wife and made this in the peace and quiet of my garage.
There great Brian. Love the fact your using old materials to make things. We are using as much salvage stuff as possible with the house renovation. Jue is finding lots of things on eBay and FB marketplace and it's great. We obtained this huge mirror a couple of weeks ago for the princely sum of nothing
That looks good. Nothing like a bit of recycling! I’m actually pre-loved myself..There great Brian. Love the fact your using old materials to make things.
