Woodworking

I can't strictly class woodworking as a hobby but I enjoy making stuff when the fancy takes me ... and my garage is clear ... and the weather not too cold.

Now, I say it's a garage but it's now become a workshop as it is stuffed full off my woodworking Tools.

I've build quite a few things now, although I only do one-offs. Where possible I've kepts notes on my various Projects.
