This charming, old-fashioned wishing well would be a striking addition to any garden.

The project
I have made three of these now. The first was for my partner, and when her friends saw it they wanted one too.
I don't have any carpentry skills whatsoever – in fact I was terrible at woodwork in school.

I used a compound mitre saw to cut the timber and a Join A Jig to pre-drill the screw holes for the right-angle joins.

The frame is made with 70mm x 35mm treated Pine outdoor framing; the walls and roof are made with treated Pine fence palings; and the winch is made with a broom handle and timber offcuts.
