Boot Jack

Post by Mallard »

A simple device for pulling wellies off, and I'm sure some of you have one!
This was bashed together quickly with off cuts, but I intend to make a smarter one sometime.
It saves time and cursing; one foot on and pull! :-D

Mallard,
Simple is often best.
Standing on stool to take off your wellies looks dangerous wouldn't it be easier on the floor? :-D

My goodness...that took me back! It looks exactly like the one I made in my earliest woodwork lessons at the village school as a 10-year-old.

I remember because the only other things I managed to complete were a toilet roll holder and a sturdy but wobbly footstool.

I would have finished a bathroom cabinet, but I was beaten by the clock and had to go on to secondary school the next term. There, my woodworking `skills' never again reached such giddy heights.

At primary school we handled - and often mishandled - sharp chisels, saws and even a lathe. But we didn't have health and safety inspectors to nanny us.
I don't suffer from stress. But I am a carrier.

At last! I've found out what Mrs Shears does down in the shed: www.debbiemitchell.co.uk

Sorry Al, but Jack must be on the left as I heard Jill saying 'I'm all right Jack'.

The ladies are always right, it's only proper.

(This is a technical term from folk dancing, proper means standing with the man on the left and the lady on the right of partner)
