Forum members talents?

The quote thingy bits are screwed up now. When I replied it shows half quoted and half like I've typed it.
 
I always keep bits and bobs in my cupboards, just in case. Here is one of the same


So go and make something

Good strong looking gate there Jan. Blimey, we do have some talented members on here, don't we.

Thanks Adrian. Has to be to keep the dogs in and the reason for screws not nails. Flooring grade t&g... Held together with recycled timber from an old bed base.... I was 1/4 inch out on measurements so ended up shaving some off but went smoothly otherwise. As you can tell its much wider than a standard opening, hence the need to make it.
 

Where's the photo of the gate adrian mentioned ? thanks x

ps I built/ made a rockery in my back garden a few years ago now

That looks a good solid gate Jan, well done
 
WOW.......................................Gemma has asked me to add this song on here for her. Turn your sound on
 
Very interesting but what has all this got to do with member's talents?

I think being crafty/handy/artistic, able to craft things for one's home is definitely a talent! I know I'd love to be able to do it.

I played the piano from age 7 until about 40. I couldn't afford to ship my piano here and there is no room for it anyway. I was never much good, so no huge loss. I played the organ at church when I was a kid and I played the French horn in my high school orchestra; again I wasn't much good but it was a small school so not much competition. I love to sketch but again, I'm rubbish at it. LOL!
