    You obviously aren't trying hard enough yet - I can still see clean concrete floor in those pictures.

    Hi kryn, mate there is a fair bit of work in making these the worst part would be removing outer cover & then the insulation it appears to be glued on i get most off using an old garden spade then a scraper if needed & then wire wheel on 4 inch grinder to finish, there are many ways to make them i like this style best.

    pdw, well spotted mate shed is spotless huge clean up took place when lathe arrived & needed to make more room most went to back shed [bugger] thats 40 mtrs away & now i dont want to make a mess but guess i will,


    gotta watch them victorian fairies,
    steve.
