Any guessing what this recent make for Kev's other half is?

Made on a lathe, from an old table leg.

...Get your minds out of the gutter! It's a darning mushroom for mending socks!

🐮🐴 The Hay Bale Roller 🐮🐴
A very niche creation for Home Farm Holistic Livery to enable the moving and rolling out of large round bales of hay - scroll through the pics to see it in action and the project from the very start.

Kev designed and built this entire thing from scratch and then painted it with red hammerite, to protect it and to match the other machinery.

Kev says: "I Made from scratch after seeing a similar device in action. I used MIG welded box section steel, gusseted at the corners for additional strength.
I made substantial hinges from thick tube steel, solid steel stub axles and a heavy duty towing hitch.
After some initial testing and tweeking, the machine works a treat. I could happily build more to order"

The "Tree House" - a doll's house from a fallen Ash tree 🌳 🪵

Kev says: "Instead of buying my daughter a load of plastic tat for her second Christmas, I spent a month of evenings making her a wooden doll's treehouse from a hollowed-out section of fallen tree.
The main trunk hinges open as does the roof, using brass piano hinges.
The roof is made from individual cedar shingles.
The windows are carefully shaped from shatterproof perpex with frames made from barbeque skewers.
There is a miniature wood burning stove and an aga in the kitchen. LED lighting including chandeliers and realistic glowing fires, all individually switchable with little toggle switches on the back of the house.
There's a copper roll-top bath, chimney and kitchen utensils all handmade from scratch using shaped, soldered and polished copper.
Everything is made to withstand the rigours of being played with and really is quite robust!
It probably took 100 hours or so but the look on Luna's little face was worth every second ❤️
It really seems like this piece has touched people's hearts reaching nearly 2,000 likes and hundreds of heartfelt comments in one closed group, so I definitely have in mind to make further and similar pieces available to purchase"

I've created this page to show the world the amazing things Kev makes, the smaller bespoke projects aside from his more regular building work, because he is far too modest to blow his own trumpet.

His creations range from toys for his daughter, to agricultural machinery and classic car and caravan restorations. Scroll through this post for some pics and scroll down the page to see posts for each individual project.

If anything interests you, don't hesitate to get in touch!

***Disclaimer*** Kev can fix or make just about anything but, occasionally, there are things that can't be restored, or, more often, would cost an unreasonable amount.
Kev tends to give a good explanation if he turns a project down, but please don't be offended if he says no.
