Other stuff I like !

I managed to get all the concreting done for the new greenhouse base. It needs to be solid because it will have lots of sand sitting on top. It`s got 8 posts in which is more than I would use for a regular deck. Now I can start to prefab the greenhouse structure at home and then put it together on the allotment. It wont see any plastic until next year (cant see any point of getting it ripped to bits over winter)
On a different note, I started to make fishing lures this year from wood. I do a desk job at work so it`s nice to do practical stuff at home cos I`m from a trade background and I dont think you ever lose the urge to tinker with stuff. It`s one of the reasons I love allotment life so much I think !
So, being a lure-making novice, I have had a go at 3 of them and they turned out pretty good. There is a pike trolling lure at the top, a perch trolling lure in the middle and a pike jerkbait at the bottom. Not too shabby methinks !
They just need a coat of epoxy and thats it.
