Trouble at’ mill…
…When this job came along.
Can you build a miniature mill?
Yup, lets have a meeting.
Can you make that ten miniature mills?
A Hatchet job…
came into the workshop this week.
A fellow fixer at the Manchester Repair Cafe, hosted by Stitched Up, asked if I could repair or replace a broken handle shaft on her hand axe. A straight forward job I am happy to do for a friend.
Western Approaches Week 1
June 2017 was the start of an interesting and complex project for Maker of Things.
It began with a query from Big Heritage simply asking: “Alfred. Are you up for recreating an entire 1940s street scene?”

There was an offer to buy a set of three stacking components for £92.00 keeping it all below my £100 budget. Continue reading “A big stacking tool box…”
