14th September 2019
I was up early to help Louise take her furniture to Trowbridge Weavers Market. This happens once a month, and it has been quite successful for her the past few months.
The weather was warm and sunny, and perfect for the open air event.
We got all the pieces in two cars and headed off to set up the pitch.
It was the first time I had been there, so I took the chance to look around and even bought a Swiss cheese plant for the cottage.
I got back and decided to make more wooden bunting pieces that Louise wanted for decorations.
This is when I realised how thick I am sometimes.
I made some smaller pieces a couple of weeks ago. I cut up a load of pallet strips that I had “in stock” and made a jig to put on my chop saw to cut the correct angle, it took a long time, and led to a load of off cuts.
This time, after thinking about it for a few minutes, it led me to setting the saw at twenty two and a half degrees, cutting it in one direction then flipping it over and cutting in the other, so a perfect forty-five degrees, and no waste,and done in ten minutes.
I even had time to make a pallet wood planter for my new plant.
Midway through the afternoon I had to return to the market to help pack up and bring back what hadn’t sold.
Louise was a little disappointed at not selling more, but that’s what happens, there’s no pattern, some you win.
The day was improved when we had our second AirB&B booking for the cottage for the weekend at the end of the month.
