I made a kindling chute in my workbench which sits below the mitre saw. Throw bits of suitable wood behind the saw, they end up in an easy access location ready to use.
I like it. Picture please.
All made from whatever I had lying around, hence right side is the top of a pallet. It slopes forward as you would expect from a chute.

I'm going to make one too.I had a lovely day with my wife yesterday. A full day as it were. I went for a 10 k run whilst she took the dogs out first thing. By mid morning we were out shopping and lunching until late afternoon, searching for some naughty underwear for a weekend away we have in a couple of weeks time.
Back home to find the kids had got back from school, fed the dogs and made their own tea. My wife then finally and for the first time in 14 years, decided that she was going to join my gym and we went training together for the first time ever. Her in one of my hoodies and wearing a pair of very bright trainers from 2008.
Utterly mundane but after 32 years together it was really rather lovely and wholesome.

Ah, wifey & I had a top day out yesterday….bus to town, nice cuppa, then went with a few pals on the train to Beeston, for a celebratory lunch send off for a pal’s daughter who is going travelling in a couple of weeks.
Great beers, great lunch, great banter
Train back to Leicester for another cheeky one, then we went to the theatre in the evening.
We had tucked in the odd soft drink during the day to prevent us falling asleep at the show
Excellent show (& a musical - Come From Away - not something I would have perhaps have expected to really enjoy, but I highly recommend it).
Late bus back….good times!
Lazier day today….

Two very good friends who I’ve known for nearly three decades surprised me tonight, announcing they’re whisking me away to the ski slopes to celebrate my 50th! They’ve been planning it (with my equally wonderful wife) since November, and secretly organised my annual leave with work. Completely gobsmacked!!
I hate parties and never make a fuss of my own birthdays, but I’m really happy - not because of the skiing, but because we’ll get to spend a really decent amount of time together which doesn’t happen that often as we live so far apart.

First grass trim of the year. Mower started 2nd pull.
But that pull was not a starting lunge just the 2nd of the two gentle get-the-fuel-through pulls I do on that 1st season start.
It's an Itzy. Only careful treatment given before hibernation is to run with fuel tap off for a while to minimise fuel in the carb over winter.

Yesterday I plugged Rob O'Mow back in.....within 5 hours, he was off to do the first cat, and this morning I was happy to see he had docked fine, and indeed headed off later in the morning for another spin. Happy....or just relief
