It's the multiple knots that really make it

You know what they say...if you can't tie knots, tie lots.

Or if you are a rambler....... just wrap the cord round to look like a knot...... with out the bother of it actually having to function as a knot to keep my stock in!

To think my wife wanted to throw away (at a cost, of course!) this water tank just because it had a split in it:-

But with the addition of this:- it becomes a useful work punt :- (once perhaps the split is sealed with a siliconed patch - but not today as, for a change, it's pissing down).
Plus the body of one of those trailers that horsey folk use:-

It looks quite tough stuff - about 8-10mm thick I can feel a workshop session coming if it ever stops raining enough to work - anyway there's still more than 2 months left of the shooting season, so no hurry!

(Don't tell the wife, but I may even get another one - single skinned oil tanks are two a penny on Ebay at the moment)

You'd think someone would invent saws and screwdrivers that didn't need fuel or electricity! Bound to be possible.

I've a similar tank which will come into service as a septic tank for the bog in the new workshop. A few holes with the hole cutter around the top third and it should just drain nicely in a sandy soil.

That sounds like the one on our CL site

Below is my contribution to the bodgerneering fraternity. Bayonet fitting for the pressure washer lance broke so some jubilee clips to hold the lance into the handpiece. Switch refuses to stay on so is held down by a handy but of oak laminate flooring.

At first I thought that was a 10 mm steel plate pusher! Be a fair tool if it was.

That will be mark 2 when this one falls to bits.
