  1. I found your blog page while trying to fix my binoculars. I love converting/repurposing what my wife calls junk. No pallets available for me, so I will work on a different trellis material for my cucumbers, sweet peas and pole beans. Perhaps, I can use branches from my old apple tree. Keep on posting ideas and enjoy summer.

    1. Hi there and thank you for visiting! I will have some more collimation projects coming up shortly. Re trellis - we also make a lot out of bamboo and all kinds of branches - we have a forest garden, so no shortage of sticks! Seeing as you like converting and repurposing, I have just uploaded this: https://thegreenlever.blogspot.com/2020/07/diy-j-rocket-stove-artistic-scrap-metal.html#.XwciD3cv6V4 and there is also a welded rose arch coming up soon made from 12mm round mild steel bar, normally used for concrete reinforcing! Have a great Summer and all the very best from Normandie, Andy
