A new experiment…
I have made a few Gonks but I thought I would release this one out into the wild to see how far it could go..
This one is all signed up and read to go and full instructions can be found right here, on it’s rear..

Back in the shed with a pine branch, three hours I emerge with this very attractive looking lady.
The detail..
Even the little people are helping me to put the bird food out.
Although I am not sure he is old enough to drive that!
See you soon
After another lovely evening last night, playing around with my log-jets, it was great to see the sun out again this morning and to find the little people having a morning climb.
One of my hobbies since the 1st Jan 2012, has been to take a photograph every day.
Today, my focus was fruit and I made this Owl, while my little friends helped to inflate the grapes and peal the Kiwi.
Look up from your phone
So I tried something new last night – Log-Jets’
You ‘simply’ drill one large whole 3/4 down the centre of the log, another through the side to join the bottom and then light the fire at the join. What they didn’t say was that lighting the little fire is a right pain in the arse, but after about half hour, a whole box of matches and some white spirit, it started.
The last shot was taken just before 8pm and we put it out about half nine, as we went inside. Looking at it the following morning, although the base had split, I think it would have burnt as a candle for another hour, so about 3 hours in total… This log was about 30cm high by 20cm.
I would add that all the heat goes up so although it is nice to look at as a candle, it was originally designed to be a small burner. The idea is that you put a couple of flat stones on top and the your billy can.
“This week… I will mostly be growing new eyebrows”.
This is the start of my brand new project: “Bulldogs Bits & Bobs“.
My idea is to share some of my thoughts and ideas with a wider audience and hopefully share some of my creativity, inspirations and humour.
Have a look around (when I have posted something) and hope you come back soon and bookmark http://www.threebs.co.uk
