Looking very good - here's hoping you've still got enough time.

Thanks I like it too.

Looking very good - here's hoping you've still got enough time.

I hope as well.
I will have a busy week starting with today.


Doing the rivets this way is not a good idea if you have to hurry...


But it is done. 





Some minor work on the house.
Tomorrow some painting and more woodwork.

This is starting to look really good. The anvil and the bellows are particular cool. I hope you manage to get it all done in time.

[beefcake]

Wow! The bellows are outstanding. The anvil is also great!

[dampfpanzerwagon]

I agree - those bellows are fantastic.

WOW!! Lovely work on the bellows!

[Comsquare]

Yep, those bellows look really nice, though... 

No, great work.

Still working hard on this, the main building only needs a door and the roof (and some paint).
The workshop got the supports for the roof and walls. I took pictures, but we had a storm yesterday evening, and with second long power outages I couldn't use my computer. I was lucky enough that we didn't lose power completly. I also started painting things. I should warn you guys, I'm much better at building things, than painting them so prepare to be underwhelmed.

[McMordain]

So this is a pic from yesterday.



And this is how things are now.



The roof needs shingles, and the building a door. Then only the painting left (I don't like that part...)
As I won't post any more pics probably here is a pic of one of my western houses roof, so you can get the idea.



Also here is this thing. I will make a few more of these and other small stuff to lively up the place



If my cold does not get worse, then I can finish this. Hopefully

Eeeekkk - lovely stuff. Part of me thinks it's a shame to cover it all with a solid roof.

[McMordain]

The smithy's roof can be taken of

Wonderful, those bellows are a true work of art. 

[Constable Bertrand]

Nice hand made tools, I agree that encasing the forge area with a solid roof and solid walls is a shame, as it hides your workmanship. Mine was half open along the sides and still it was dark enough inside to make it difficult to see :/

But as always, you know the detail is there. Good luck finishing it off

Cheers
