Well Steve i cut the roof to correct shape, then it needed a gentle curve on it, so as usual i placed it on the Rayburn to heat it a touch and the phone rang, the rest is history.

But the second attempt worked

At least you knew where it went wrong.

This could take some time to complete, tedious to say the least

I as about to suggest that the coffee stirrers may have been a better choice for the planking - then I checked the original and saw they would have been too narrow.
Looking good Brian.

Can I suggest you try Halfords white primer with a couple of washes of black to create the characteristics of weather worn, ‘silver’ wood?

Noted Steve thanks, i may also try white/black mix with IPA too.

The results will be well worth it! Looking good so far.

One side nearly done, when it sets i will distress it a bit with a blade, then fit the metal work. Eyes are sore now.
