Pat, so the deeper one is quite thick at 10mm and the shallow is 5mm

Trying something new, coloured, polished bowls. The pics don't really do the colours justice, the deeper bowl is Ash, The shallow bowl is maple....

I have to admit I've been to Makers Central a couple of times, and decided it's not for me - there definitely wasn't enough woodworking, and the cost is so prohibitive for what you get - I didn't feel there was enough 'other' interesting stands and my wife and daughter didn't enjoy it either and...

CrushGrind Salt & Pepper Mills, decided I'd try these after getting the mechanisms at a great price, needed a few jigs making as they were not as easy as I first thought they might be.... Top end mechanisms I think I've just about done them justice. The Salt is made with Ash & the Pepper is...

Sorry can't help here Stig...... BUT..... Watching with interest as I've never done this but curious about the answers.....

I have a Depstech WF020x it works with my iPhone and has been great on the occasions I needed it - you can get from Amazon or direct or various other sites - there may be ones with more bells and whistles now - but I got mine a few years back and it still meets my needs.. HTH Padster

Stig, Seems like you are in a tough place, and reaching out if only to us here is the first step… I have a relation, also ex forces (you mention the soldier in you) who was very high up in the corporate world, family kids etc, but he was struggling….ended in a downward spiral that was almost...
