101 uses for a peg

Jess kindly sent me this misty romantic looking photo of another use for a peg. Pegs seem to have made themselves very useful over time, and here one prevents some hand cream drying out. The end of the tube was cut off to get to the last dregs of cream, but it turned out there was more cream left in there than expected.
All Hail the peg.

A big Thank you for Marina and Sam Rees for this image from the Phallological Museum in Reykjavik. They visited here as part of their one month residency in Iceland. I asked Sam if he had seen anything suitable for this blog...and he didn't waste time in sending me this photo.  They do make rather fetching lampshades, you can't deny that.

Maybe I have been watching too much TV......but spotted on "Come Dine With Me"..a BBQ made from an old oil drum, which featured heavily in this episode.

101 Uses for a hand drill

Another one from "Le Salvager" on Quest. In this one Rico Daniels makes a scarecrow, using an old hand drill as part of the mechanism for a wind powered device attached to it. I couldn't get any good photos of the device..but blades spun round causing the head to rotate, and it rattled.

Great TV series on Quest called "Le Salvager", Rico Daniels gives all manner of junk a new lease of life. He makes everything so well, nicely finished and solid.
Doors into windows... He turned 18 doors into a greenhouse.
