Old Rope Salvage Films
About 2 years ago we decided to make a few videos for fun and post them up on You Tube. Well, they went down really well and we really enjoyed creating them, so 2 years later we are back making them again, only this time we are a little more organised ...
Join us for our new, ongoing series as we set up our workshop and set about building ourselves a Tiny off-grid Home-on-Wheels from the remains of a 1975 Bedford Firetruck. We promise it will be mayhem.
You can watch a new film on here every 2 weeks (or so) or join us on our You Tube channel where you can subscribe, comment and never miss a video.

Sandblasting!
This week, we're finally getting down to the long-anticipated sandblasting on the cab of our 1975 Bedford Truck / Camper-to-be, after which we will very soon be getting this thing into primer ready for The Big Paint Job! First, however, we need to build ourselves some kind of DIY sandblasting tent to keep the dust and debris away from the rest of the workshop, and then Tim has to get the grinder out ... again! It's really dirty, hot, messy work, but we're getting there! Find out if it's worth the struggle to do it yourself. Are the results any good? What blasting media did we use? Did the tent stay up? Are we still alive?
Delighted as always to have you onboard. Let us know what you think ... Lisa & Tim
