Did I tell everyone we got a dog? 😁 He’s called Billy Joel and I’ve got a song for him. If you want to sing it, it goes like “My name’s Billy Joel, am a wee duu...ug fae the Goil” and you sing it to the tune of Britney Spear’s “I love rock and roll, put another dime in the juke box, baby” It’s the first song I’ve wrote and we’re all pretty pleased with it. 💁🏼 . #billyjoelthefrenchbulldog
A wee box with some scrolls (@lewis1930ma turned the scrolls) It’s for a guy who’s getting married and the scrolls will have their vows on them. Hopefully he’s doing the right thing and marrying into money...unlike me 😔 . . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #box #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #oak #table #elm #modern #maker #scottish #lochgoil #argyll #scrolls

Made some boards from scraps in the shape of the Z Flex cos I like it. I’ll have about 4 maybe 5 that’ll be for sale when they’re finished 🏄🏽‍♂️ . It’s Friday, man. I’ve still not lost a job or been raped by an immigrant 🖖🏼 . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #zflex #maker #skateboard #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #toolwall #oak #table #elm #modern #youtube #scottish #lochgoil #argyll
Fitted out a wee office/podcast studio for this delusional airhead a few months ago. A lot of stuff from Ikea, a lot of second hand stuff. Worked out well 🤗 . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #carpentry #carpenter #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #toolwall #oak #table #elm #modern #youtube #scottish #maker #podcast #scottishpodcast #lochgoil #argyll @neilspodcast
These don’t have to be used just for separating your cutlery, equally as good in bedroom furniture for separating your sex toys ya creepy weirdo 🤟🏻 . . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #carpentry #carpenter #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #toolwall #oak #table #elm #maker #modern #youtube #scottish #lochgoil #argyll

Spoke to the wee Buddha head there. Said I’ll be fine but you’re all fucked #blessed 🙋🏼‍♂️ #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #carpentry #carpenter #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #maker #scotland #bespoke #toolwall #oak #table #elm #modern #youtube #scottish #lochgoil #argyll
A wee coffin thing for a friend to keep their paraphernalia and such in. I need to come up with a wee thing like this that can be made quickly and sold cheaply to get some money together for a hair transplant, like a fund raiser type affair. Supposedly if you go to Turkey it’s more affordable than getting it done here. My heads too big to go baldy, it’d be like a big moon 👩🏻 . Take it easy. Relax. Be good to yourself. Don’t be an arsehole all your life.

I've got this table that I'm selling. Open to offers. • It did have legs but I took them off to store it easier and then used the legs for something else, so actually I can't be calling it a table, it's just a big round bit of elm 🌳 • It's not free but I'm not looking for loads so just gimme an offer if you're interested. You can get yersel' a wee set a they hairpin legs from Amazon cheap and call it a table. . Message me or email or that. Can deliver locally to like Glasgow area or thereabouts. Tell yer mates. . Cool, mate. . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #table #maker #woodworker #carpentry #carpenter #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #oak #table #elm #modern #youtube #scottish #lochgoil #argyll
Went to New York cos’ we got married here 10 years ago. Ten fuckin’ years and I still think she’s awe’ right. Less than fifteen steps out the taxi and we saw an old homeless guys cock (penis) when he stood in front of us and took a pish in a used Starbucks cup. Felt just like Lochgoilhead! Gemma walked too much for someone with a fake hip but we found out that big muscular black guys like small white girls like her, one time this guy who looked like a young Idris Elba says “what up? .....you got pretty eyes” Thought he was talking to me but it was the muchacha he was aftr. I’m right here mate, that’s my wife n’ that but charge on, want me to hold your jacket ya sexual deviant. This happens a lot more than I think it should. Saw the Carole King show and fell asleep in the park, we’re not exciting people, we just like take it easy. America gets a bad rap but it’s sound, man. It’s always nice to us. Time flies, man! ✌🏻 . #madeinscotland #whiskybarrellongboard #lochgoilhead #workshop #woodworking #woodworker #carpentry #carpenter #handmade #furniture #interiordesign #design #scotland #bespoke #newyork #oak #table #elm #modern #youtube #scottish #lochgoil #argyll
