Well project this pulled in a few of my passions, Hand Crafting, the\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0renovation and the Woods.\u00a0 We need a new beam to go in the Cottage to support a failing floor. It needed to be in keeping with the existing hand hewn beams, I really like trying out old time, traditional craft skill and with trees ready to fell the materials where on hand.<\/p>\n

So after a few hours in the woods, I produced exactly what we needed and apart from buying the adze and small amount of fuel, it’s cost nothing.\u00a0 A great example of the time and money equation with DIY – Find the time to do it yourself and your don’t need to spend the money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
