Amongst the assorted items that timber framers like to accumulate are piles of wedges which happen to be the waste bits of wood that result from cutting bevelled housings.
I’ve tried picking them up and putting them in the woodburner so that at least they are serving a warming purpose, but have found that I can’t physically do it! My muscles refuse to respond to simple commands. What if I need them?
Well, the truth is I do need them as they are essential for chocking and levelling wonky timbers. Only I don’t need boxes full of them, just half a dozen would probably suffice. The ones at the bottom haven’t seen the light of day for years.
I have the same problem with my sock drawer – or is that too much information…….Help!
