[Been looking for a beefy silver ring a la that IH-Ring below 

Have you picked one up Dan?](https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=14396)

[Dstauffer]

@neph93 Been on the hunt for one in my size (9 or 10) like a mad man.

This one was a couple years before my time, but I have faith the Forum Gods will grant my request one day…

[neph93]

Did @Giles  know what sizes he could source? I have no clue about ring size but I'm ready to do the research if he can get one over from Japan.

[Dstauffer]

He was kind enough to check for me and they only had size 7 left

[neph93]

That sounds small [emoji1]

So here is a few snaps of the project we are doing at the moment.

Just the base done

Progress

cutting drains takes a long time

but I think the end results are quality

main bit of the patio is done now

just the pointing and cutting the curve to do

going to be lovely when finished

and done in IH gear

@spitfiredealer great post. I take it you're enjoying the change of job? Every summer when I start building shit I think, "I could do this for a living".

[spitfiredealer]

Apart from my son it is the best thing I ever did, changing career and getting outside.

Awesome thread idea! Guess I need a pair of ducks now…

Jesus, I remember laying one, no two, of these 25 years ago when I built my house. One around a pool, and then the patio. Then the big day came to to rent the masonry saw and cut the slate for all the coping on the pool and patio  wall. One day rental. We had pre-measured every piece. So it was just saw, saw, saw, while someone laid it–sometimes you would have to trim. About 12 straight hours. My forearm stared vibrating all over again, a life of its own, as soon as I saw the pics in this thread.  Beautiful job. And I can assure you, you will remember it (especially the years you adjust and relay parts...!)  -M

@Giles it looks like it says extinct  That's not good news… I never got a pair in black either. Well if they come back again at 22oz I'm in for a pair in each colorway! Seriously heavy duty kit!

Timber for the joists for the new mezzanine arrived….

I would kill for some indoor construction. I'm wading in mud in 10C with 10mm of rain per hour. I had a white IHTP-04 on under my 68, under a "water resistant" jacket and it's turned indigo [emoji849]
