Absent Bloggage

Its been a while since I wrote anything here due to a few reasons. The main being that blogging had seemingly become yet another thing which I waste unnecessary time doing. I think when this blog began it had a point, I'd messed myself up and it was a good way of keeping track of the healing process and much easier than relaying that information to a load of people at every stage. After that it descended into nothingness albeit with a couple of posts that read well (I hope) as well as one or two controversial posts. After leaving it for a while a few thoughts were rattling around my empty head but nothing earth shattering but this, THIS I have to share:

BEHOLD BEDROOM BOARD:


Now I'm terrible with wood, give me steel, a lathe etc. and I'm ok. Give me wood and a jigsaw and things get messy. Despite this, I'm very happy with the board.
Its 8ft wide and has about 12ft of climbing length and completely self supporting, it also supports a nice big storage shelf and some stow away space. You get in underneath the right hand side of the board. The holds aren't all on yet. I started with the jug's and I'm slowly working down to the smaller stuff.

Its not symmetrical - I can go to the works for that
Its not systematic - If I made it too specialised then Nat couldn't play on it when she wants.

It will have:
A good range of holds
Big moves
A beanbag shaped like a beefburger sporting dubious marks
A large rear storage shelf

Looks good to me dude, looks like you've made good use of a wee space there.

Please disregard anything you read on this page. It's all just random thoughts and opinions based on very little. Therefore it's not worth getting upset about. In fact; just don't bother reading it, it'd make life easier for everyone involved.
