This is my table saw, which has a plywood side support (in red) and has been expanded to the right of the cast-iron top to provide more top surface and storage space below for jigs.
On the wall is my mechanically operated (red stick handle) gate valve (pink and white) for the vacuum system

Terrace, looking north toward Golovec. I made the fence (for Linda to look through) from birch and cedar.
The 50m2 of terrace was covered in Siberian birch by Buco, Vito and me in the very hot summer of 2022.
Vito and I built the pergola, which was bought from Bauhaus (discounted).
I also made the wooden box for the Japanese maple.

April 2023
This is a small deck, which was a sort of practise project for the terrace. It looks much better when it is freshly oiled. This is how it looks after a winter.
Some concrete work at the bottom left.

Cabinet for mugs, with a LIverpool Lambanana and a Portugeese cat.

Big shout out to Vito and Erika, who both helped a lot with this.
