A recent project but not for us

Tweet

When we came to Perth three years ago (how time flies), we brought with us about a dozen railway ‘dogs’ or spikes. We used some at Donnybrook to make racks. One was a long one which held extension cords in the shed and we also had one in the laundry. A week or so ago, together with my brother-in-law, we made a rack for him with four pegs. He had some scrap timber which we planed down a bit smoother. We treated the wood with a turpentine and linseed oil mix and coated the pegs with an acid before painting them black. It’s now hanging outside his side door to take coats or whatever. The photo shows it sitting in our patio.
