Doors and distractions
Some weeks don’t go to plan.
This past week was full of distractions.
First, my brother needed me for two days of pergola building – then there was a battery of health tests.
Consequently, this video is lacking a satisfying conclusion – sorry.

Again.. Just more inspiration!!!
Love the timber, Nothing better then recycled with amazing grain!!
If… You were thinking of giving the timber a “Lick” of something? I highly recommend a 50/50 mix of
Gum Turpentine and Linseed Oil.
Best for enhancing the grai, smells amazing for ages.
The say use “Pale boiled” linseed as it dries quicker but for your cave normal will be fine.
For the record. Bunnings Caringbah have 1 x 20 litre drum of Linseed for $80. (The are getting rid of it) I got mine for $50 as I talked him down.
What are you going to do with 20 litres of Linseed oil you ask? Funny you should ask… My Mrs said exactly the same!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Safe travels

Thanks for watching (as always) Drew,
and thanks for the oiling advice. I’ll look into that.
Up to now, with the timbers I included in the pit, I’ve been spraying WD40 on them. So far it’s keeping them fresh and clean – but certainly doesn’t smell as good as what you’re describing. I remember we used to dip our picks and shovels (from the Land Rover bonnet racks) in pure linseed. I always loved that smell.
Merry Christmas mate.
