Repairing verandah rafters. That's something different

Why I've done it this way

When looking for entire replacement rafters I found some that would match the verandahs existing rafters. But they were quoted to be anywhere from $250 - 450. Each.

And I have 5 to replace

That's $1250 - 1750 just in materials alone

And to replace the entire rafter. I would need to remove a good chunk of the tin to get access.

Instead I spoke with the customer about just replacing the rotted sections and they gave me the go ahead

Is it as neat as a full new rafter

No

Does it do the job and is it stable enough and still look relatively tidy

( Considering I was swinging off of each beam after install to check )

I would say yes

Let me know what you think below

Our Market setup recently got a huge facelift

Thanks to Extreme Marquees for getting the second of my branded gazebos to me in record time!
The website says 10 business days. I only counted 7 from ordering to arrival

With 3 markets this weekend. No better time to debut the new setup

A little bit of history for you

This is the Kotta hall. She turns 100 this year. And has always been somewhat of a corner stone for the little bush / farming community of Kotta, hosting bush dances local meetups and of course the annual Kotta Christmas tree. Where all of the nearby families would make something for dinner to share, we would sing carols. And later in the evening. Santa himself would arrive on the fire engine with presents.

When I heard that it was the centenary this year. I wanted to do something special. So chatting with an ex neighbour and committee member. Mandy. Or Wally if you know her. We decided that a large carved timber sign would be right upy alley

Made from messmate. An Australian native pale eucalypt it's sure to last the test of time and look good doing so

Andúril — Flame of the West ⚔️🔥

Can now finally be displayed and shown off!

Because let's be honest… what good is having a sword if you don't have a way to properly display it? 😏

If you've been following along, you'll have seen some pretty cool things happening in the workshop lately. One of those is that I've been getting into 3D carving.

And for my very first project — and hopefully the beginning of a whole new range of products — it was always going to be a sword.

And not just any sword…

Andúril. The Flame of the West. ⚔️

Now I've finally got a display worthy of it.

Other swords and display weapons that I am wanting to make include
Sting
Glamdring
Orcrist
Gimli's war axe
Brisingr
