Quote from: coffee on 02 November 2018, 11:51:07 pmIt was a toss up back in the day whether to go for an FJ or a Pan, the shaft drive clinched it. That is one lovely bike mate. .at the moment I'm painting a load of Ercol furniture,we couldn't afford a new dining room suite so we decided to paint everything in 2 colours and then flat it a bit so it looks like that shabby chic,only done one and a half chairs at the moment and it don't half take some time!,lot cheaper than a new one though,should be finished by Christmas I hope. Still awaiting the Shabby Chic photos Coffee.Here is my latest bit of handy work, wife was complaining about my skid lids being left about the house. I was fed up with my great nephews coming into the house and using them as Buzz bloody Lightyear helmets dropping them, scratching them and cracking the visor on my LS2 Convert, £27 quid for a replacement visor. Looked in lots of places including the Bay trying to find a chest that would take the 3 Buckets, some just two small other much to big, so down to B&Q for some pine and out with the tools that have not seen much light since I retired from the building trade, good to know I still have the skills.Buckets now out of sight, safe from grubby hands, Mrs stopped complaining (Well, about that anyway) can be used to sit on with a couple of cushions and used as a coffee table as well. Jobs-a-good-un.

Hi coffee....interesting project , are you sure these are ERCOL chairs ? Ive not seen those before and the design dos'nt look ERCOL ish........
I hope that you are telling me you have removed that horrible white paint to revel a beautiful example of English Elm carpentry.
Nice bit of handiwork Tommy
I don't know whether to distress these a bit more,I'll have to see.
Fifteen, just a teenager then . It'll either want a new phone or a games console
That's a nice collection of bikes Like me, 3 is just the right number to stop you getting bored.
