Another box finished, it's a lap desk / clerks desk, quite old and handmade, I've replaced the lid support using an old piece of pine and fitted a small catch, it's a nice thing that makes a great box for an artist.

Recently acquired these two lovely little clocks, both dating to around 1900, both French and working quite well, nice things.

Easy repair for this wooden lamp base, top section has some damage (it was me) off to the lathe, the idea is to remove the damaged section, make a joining point for a new top, made of mahogany like the rest of the lamp

If you don't like spiders look away, quite a large one, and it stayed still while I took pictures, we get loads of these in the autumn, they have a habit of spinning their webs across the garden paths at face height.

A couple of projects are almost complete, 2 lamps have been refinished the larger one has nice folk style carvings the other is a small mahogany lamp, I've also been trying to convert some more frames into box frames.

Recently finished working in this antique plant table, it's made from Oak has 2 tiers and a lovely arts and craft feel, looks great with a large plant on it, or used as a display stand.

I've seen quite a few clocks of this type about, most are not working this one is, dates to between 1939 to 1950, mains powered, this version has a telltale that rotates at 15 second intervals, keeps perfect time, a lovely little Smiths mantle clock.

THis hour glass was produced in partnership with the National maritime historical society and Franklin mint to commemorate 125 years of the Cutty Sark, it is very decorative and reminds me of Jules Verne stories like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea #steampunk #julesverne

A curious and interesting sculpture, not sure what it is meant to represent, to me I see a bird, a fish, maybe a whale, and from certain angles it reminds me of a piece of cloth in the wind, I guess that is why art is objective.

A nice vintage barometer in need of a spruce up, I've stripped it back and refinished it, and the movement was also stripped down and cleaned, if we hadn't rescued it, it may have ended up in landfill

Making some bases from reclaimed wood for some glass domes I acquired recently, these are being dyed black and should look good once they've been polished.

Another job off the list, finished turning the new base for this vintage banker style lamp yesterday, stained and polished it today, pleased with how it turned out.

Couple of projects I'm working on, a lamp that needs a new base, an old musical instrument box, which I'm converting into some kind of storage/display box, these are on a long list of stuff I'm doing

Added another barometer to the collection, a Shortland Brothers banjo style barometer with thermometer, the case needs a sand and a wax, and I picked up a barometer movement today, another Shortland Brothers one cost the princely sum of 50p, needs a new case

Mostly completed renovating my latest lot of vintage barometers, I have one left to do, they are currently dotted around the house, looks a bit like I'm hoarding them...

Another upcycle project nearly complete, made a wooden base for this brass gooseneck lamp, just needs a polish and the wiring and then it's good to go, will make a nice desk lamp.

Not the best pictures, but it turned out how I imagined it, some might say I should have left it in it's original condition, I'd disagree, I feel it has a more contemporary look to it now.

'Cry havoc! and let slip the Nematodes of war' First time trying these, it will be an interesting experiment if nothing else.

Lamp mostly finished, I've got to make a base for it, I've rewired it to update the electrics, had to solder the shade adjuster as that was broken, it's an amazing and over the top piece of design

A recent addition to the house, solid brass lamp (American manufacturer) it has a peculiar look to it, but it is well made, needs a good polish and rewiring but it's a nice thing...now does anyone know where I put my lamp cable? 🤦
