I always get exited when I receive an email from Dave about a new video, as I know I’m going to be in for a treat. Listen out for Dave’s wife asking him if he wants a cup of tea

Dave mentions that he picked up his logs from PoundLand, which for my non-UK readers out there is the equivalent of a 99 Cents or Dollar store. As you can see from the video, it is possible to pick up a LOT of logs for your money which is ideal if you have (or are thinking of adding) a timber yard or mill to your layout.

I’m sure that there are plenty of other ways that you can use logs lie these in your layout, other than the obvious log piles. If anyone knows of any or has a suggestion for a good way to use them in a layout then please leave your thoughts in the comment area below.

i think you could build log cabins or chalets with them.they would also be good for building a bridge structure

I love to see Dave’s video’s just wish I had the space. My small layout is only 6 x 4 and after 3 years is still in the making stages. I have made a couple of silos using lollypop sticks. Gordon

What’s the web address displayed 1 minute in to Dave’s video? Why is it on two lines?

Thanks, Dave, for the tips and info. I would agree with Simon that those “logs” would work well for trestles and small bridges on an early country layout of some kind.

I made my logs by cutting limbs from trees in the yard and from Christmas trees.. Of course it helps to live in the great North-West!!

Use them to make retaining walls like those found in in mining areas of Colorado!
Also, they should be great for trestles or log bridges.

Hi Dave,
Your layout has us all with our tongues hanging out. I like many are jealous of your creation.

Keep up the excellent work, love to watch and see the new items.

Thanks for sharing with us all.

Hello,
My question still stands; Does anyone know where I can purchase this product in the United States?

Hi Steve,

At the moment I have got some American friends looking to see where this product is readily available in the US. In the UK you can pick it up in PoundLand stores as well as garden centers. I would imagine that a similar product must be available in the States. The product from the video is called “Willow style mini fence” and its used for bordering around lawns and flower beds.
As soon as I hear anything (or if anyone else knows where you can get it) then it will be up in the comments.

As Dan says I bought this roll from Poundland at of course £1 but they sell them in Garden Centers for about £5 .. $4 but plenty on them , Should think you will find them in garden shops over in the States
thanks for all your Comments
