Winter Coat Mk II

[albacore]

Some of you may remember my original waterproof oven coat. Well, it didn't last very long, being made of thin PE tarpaulin material.
Here is my mkII version, made from a heavy duty waterproof Cordura lookalike material off Ebay. Don't be afraid of machine sewing - it's only engineering in fabric!

I made a little wooden cap for the front brick arch to stop it rubbing the fabric away - finished with a split bike tyre glued to the edge with Fixall!

And even a wooden door for the wood store to keep the rain out. This was made from some nice 18mm tongue & groove board that I reclaimed from a scrap door. It had a rather garish reddish woodstain on it that I had to belt sand off - a bit of a slow job, so I didn't bother with the back!
A matching door for the oven is in progress.

G'day
A vey workmanlike piece of work. Pieces like the rubber tie downs should see it survive till spring.

Looks good. Much neater than a crappy tarp!

I was thinking of making one of these last week. I love your idea. I was thinking of making one with a heavy duty zip to fasten. Like a big overcoat.
