Mr Taylor's Book on Amazon

A Horse in the Bathroom: How an Old Stable Became Our Dream Village Home
Hi everyone, if you saw our blog post last week, then you will know that the post was about an extract from a magazine, and how we used our excellent powder coating services to put the finishing touches on the   structure. Mr Taylor wrote a book on his wonder self build experience. Click on the following link to see the book on Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Horse-Bathroom-Stable-Became-Village/dp/1849532400

Mr & Mrs Taylor, The Old Stables, Stow on the Wold


Hi all, our blog post for this week in an extract from an article that was published in in the SelfBuild & Design Magazine Feb 2007. Have a read of it below.

When we first cleared the site, we came across the iron rims and axles from an ancient cart, and we’d had the idea of turning them into a sculpture for the courtyard. The man with apparently the right credentials is in a nearby village. “Is that Mick Keepence?” “I’m afraid so’ comes the response with a twinkle in his voice.

Mick is a tonic. ‘Ahh, tyres,’ he says patting the giant rusty iron rims. He tells me how the old wheelwrights used to forge-weld them, then get them red hot so they’d clamp onto a wooden spoke-frame as they cooled.

First, Mick shot blasts our iron to clean it up. Then he tacks the rims and axles together, and patiently he breaks them apart again when I want to do something different. His son helps him heave the result down from the work-bench, and his wife and daughter – half a dozen beagle puppies at their heels – join in the debate on what colour the sculpture should be powder coated. Must be the selfbuilder’s heaven, this!

Mr Taylor has since then wrote a book on his wonderful self build experience and we are proud to be mentioned in this.
