    Tomorrow I am going out shopfitting for the first time in four years! I was wondering whether the organisation I work for, as a volunteer, would need me again. Usually, I take the attitude that I do not want to take money from tradesmen’s pockets, but in this case we are constrained to make use of recycled materials and time is short. But I am glad to have a further opportunity to be of service.
    So I have dusted off my nail box, which dates from the 80s. I made use of a piece of furniture that had had regular saw cuts inside the cabinet, to form the partitions. But the handle is an off cut of maple. I wanted a nice, comfortable handle, so I thought I may as well make a compartment for the nail sets.Click image for larger version.
