  • These chairs have a lot of names , but as far as I know they were first made in Africa . I have been going to make one of these for a while and when I was given the unwanted bit timber I thought it was time to do a bit of woodwork .

      it turned out alright . it folds up flat . I was going to make one out of timber that wasn't so thick and take it on the back of my CT 125 for a video but I got a better piece of timber for free . i could still take it for a ride but the pieces together weigh about 18 kg all up , plus my food and alcohol., maybe I still will 😀😀😀

    Now just need to make yourself some 'honeymead' to go with that Viking chair. 😂
    Amazing craftsmanship. 🎉I bet the garden worms love munching out on the sawdust remnants.

    • @robfur
      @robfur  8 месяцев назад +1

      I've never tried Honeymead , but the price of it looks good ,so I might have to give it a go... I havnt put sawdust in yet but I do want to start making some compost but I have to work out a good spot in the garden first . Thanks for the comments and watching my videos 👍

      @@robfur I was lucky to get a couple of giveaway worm farms. Other than that, our local council supplies a small green waste bin and compostable liners, for our kitchens. When there's no room in the worm farm, I dig a hole and drop the compost bag straight into the garden bed. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I had two round compost bins but they seem to attract rats🤔😅. I relocated both of them and presently doing a spud growing experiment in both of them.
      The honeymead is top shelf on the taste buds and pallet. I'm not a big drinker myself but love making ginger beer, puckerbutt lemonade and kombucha and inspired me to give the mead a crack, being a Bee keeper as well.
      I borrowed a 5ltre demijohn and an aerator from my cousin. The second batch turned out better than the First, due to adding a champagne yeast sachet second time round. My son-in-law who works at Dan's recommended that one😅 it was fabulous advice.. 👌

    Is the angle on the seat part a 45 ?

    • @robfur
      @robfur  Месяц назад

      I didn't measure it , but if it's a tight fit it would be a 45, but if the hole was a bit bigger I guess there would be more slack, so that would make it a bigger angle .

    • @noble_roots_customs
      @noble_roots_customs Месяц назад +1

      Oh ok, got it . But I meant the angle on the seat piece of the board that sits back on the ground . On the video it shows that you cut an angle on the board so it lays on the ground more evenly. Thanks for the feedback.
