All that Karen used was ONE length of 600mm x 200mm x 100mm new British Pine. Once this was painted black, it provided a perfect base for the glowing electric fire, and all for the princely sum of £8.50 + Vat! Mind you, that doesn't include her priceless handiwork!

When Bart finally finishes his table there should be a silver plaque screwed to the surface commemorating his astonishing woodworking achievement. It's definitely a feat of determination to handcut a tropical hardwood railway sleeper lengthwise!

Digging, planting, weeding, re-potting, mowing, edging, watering, feeding, pruning......Gardening is really tiring work! So all the more reason to build an inviting railway sleeper bench where you can take a well deserved rest with biscuits and a cup of tea. Even better if you place it in a hidden corner where you can nod off!

Our railway sleepers are frequently used to cross streams, but rarely to strap people to! It was a narrow escape in 'The Avengers', when secret agent Steed rescued Diana Rigg from being run over by a train load of villains planning to sabotage Britain's radar system. A positive note for the skilful volunteers of Stapleford Miniature Railway, who are refurbishing one of the original bridges.
