    Super glue, I buy it from poundland, I always go in when I'm in town and puck up whatever they have, a pack of 2 small bottles is only £1, I usually empty the shelf when I go, I will also grab several tubes of 5 minute epoxy while I'm there as it's only £1.25.

    No such thing as too far gone 😉 rough it out to near what you want then saturate the whole thing with CA glue, give it half hour or so to make sure it's penetrated and cured then gentle passes until you've got what you want, if there are any cracks or voids use saw dust to fill and soak with a...

    Haggling on price - is it the done thing?

    For me it depends on the item/situation, if it's something I've listed that's 2nd hand I expect people will make offers and try pay less than the list price, my acceptance often depends on whether that offer is insulting or not, if it's for my work/services then the price is the price, feel free...

    What best should I do with wood from a large holly tree

    I like Holly but as said keeping it white is hard, the trick appears to be storing it upright and drying it quickly but you do lose a lot to cracking. I've not turned Hazel so don't have an opinion on that 🤪

    Looking gorgeous 😍 Two more pots to finish, just having a pain with them splitting, hopefully I now have them sorted with a thinner wood base and thicker resin coat inside, also saturated the wood with CA on the bottom. Today has been eventful, went out to start getting crimbo stuff ready for...

    Multi tools, huh! What are they good for?

    I love my Coast, I have an older model with an LED torch at both ends, it also came with a separate little torch that I lost years ago, working construction I always had one on my belt during work, always put it in the bottom of my bag travelling to and from work, since working at the school I e...

    It was 3times taller but I got greedy and broke through the wall so decided it will be an extra unexpected gift to go with the pot cover.

    Finished an Ash/Birch pot cover today for a colleaguewho loves the ones i made for my desk, the bark decided to break away but I managed to find all pieces and glue them back on. Then I turned a super thin little bowl with the centre of the birch piece.

Should anyone else from overseas want to join after 1st October I will pair them up there and then in the hope they will...

    A bit Mad?!

    I love my (works) leafblower, I had to argue for it but it's the Stihl 800 backpack petrol model, it's the biggest one available and is very powerful, I can clear a playground of all loose dirt and leaves in 20 minutes 😁😁😁
