After pulling 5 barrow loads of dirt out, Leveling and compacting I cleaned and laid 350 pavers (the first recycling of the old driveway ) Swept and vibrated 160kg of mortar mix in to the gaps then wet and brushed. Will clean up the finished over the next days as the mortar should be kept moist for a week, Not bad for my first paving job over 3 days with a 3yo 😄

You say that, but you appear to have accidently built a wall instead

hahaha yeah I don't know why the photo's only load in landscape even when they are portrait?

That's a very good job

Here we seems to either asphalt or gravel our driveways/yards.

Block paving is very popular in the UK.
It’s probably the high maintenance that people love.

Nice Andy.

Don't forget the susceptibility to oil stains, support for modern slavery, and water collecting in inappropriate low points

2 down 2 to go, This machine is smaller so I raised the base 20mm so that the spindle height is the same as the other one. Vice next I think

3 down and 1 to go Today I made the mount for the vice, This one needed to go to the floor for obvious reasons This vice has special importance to me as it is the vice that I grew up with from my Fathers shed in New Zealand, When we moved him out this was the only thing I really wanted to bring back with me (could you imagine the look on the face of the guy screening the bags at the airport that day hahaha) It is a Record auto vice 74, patented 1935-1949. I have given it a good clean but will leave it in it's used green paint because the old boy painted all his tool's this colour (Kelly Green) If you come to my shed you will find 3 tools this colour Stoked
