Tree houses.
OK. Next came among other things..............The Tree house for Murray's boy William. Who would have been about 6 at the time. Its design was completely off the top of our heads. The ideas just flowed out of the pile of logs that were lying around. Since the floor was put down, it has acquired a sort of cabin on it with no roof. But William doesn't care, he has imagination. A far superior building material. Very adaptable long lasting and easily changed.

How did I get started?
Ok peeps I`m going to go off at a bit of a tangent here, two to be precise: Trees, chainsaws and planking, plus, Casting things in aluminum.
Ive had a liking for chainsaws for a long time. Many years ago in Crewe I bought a chainsaw and went self employed making rustic furniture and supplying fire wood to people in Crewe. One oak tree a tonn of logs and an oak stool later it was all over. Didnt realy have a clue what I was doing. (Still don`t LOL).
We just went ahead and made it up as we went along.
Cut down a curved tree and sliced it down the middle with the chainsaw, to get the curve.
Thats Fee standing there inspecting the work.
Testing to see if its strong enough......lol :-D

As you can see from the pictures above I`m not blessed with an eye for a straight line.
I love the little stool and thats all that matters.
So anyway that was a long time ago and the bug for cutting up tree trunks has stayed with me.
"What got you back into it?" I hear you cry.
A new friend with his own trees and a chain saw. Murray. Just down the road from me and just as mad. Although him and Forest man bleating like insane sheep at the passing cars , dose top me by a we-bit.
So there we were standing in Murrays garden wondering what to be doing with our selves. When he mentions that Fiona, his partner, would like a bridge over the burn that runs across the garden and thats how it all began.
