The Blog: Working with scrap
19/12/2008 - Build your own clay oven - some practical advice
We had a huge amount of fun building our clay oven when James Strawbridge from New House Farm came up to visit us and lent a hand when the BBC shot the feature for the new series of BBC 2's "It's not easy being green", and plan to bake all of our bread in an industrial-sized version of one as soon as we have secured our premises. Here we offer some pointers and practical advice for those wanting to have a go building their own.

16/12/2008 - A-board, Easel and Crate built from scrap
Here at The Thoughtful Bread Company we always try and make use of waste materials, bi-products or scrap whenever possible.
In preparation for the Bath Farmers Market stall, we built an A-Board, an Easel and a Blackboard, and some decorative crates, all from old pallets that we salvaged.
If you haven't tried it before, working with scrap wood like pallets can be hugely rewarding, and really really good fun... so whether it's that book shelf you never got round to buying or something a little more involved, why not have a go yourself?
