Finally made a start on the van after waiting to get all the bits. First pieces of wood in with help from No 3 Child. Alison Candlin and Sprocket drinking tea and offering moral support😂 Next job test fit the electrics but enough excitement for one day. #camper #woodworking #e

Day 1 of the Timber Framing course. Morning spent learning how to mark out wibbly-wobbly green oak. Afternoon started butchering some beautiful wood. This work will be going in an oak barn in West Wales 🐖 đŸ’© 👍 Hewnwood #woodworking #bespoke #scarfjoint

Week 2. After discovering last week that the trusty 25 year old tent is no longer waterproof, I have alternate accommodation. Not a bad commute to work, if still basic inside. Good test of the battery install (beer’s cold) and the heater works. Hewnwood #bespoke #woodworking

Delivery day of the bits finally. Exploited a couple of teenagers to carry it through the village. At 6.5m long, it wasn’t going to fit on the landy or trailer. #bespoke #woodworking

Few days off work and some progress on the van. Sound insulation added, main distribution cables threaded, fridge tested, garage designed. Doesn’t look much, but it’s progress
