Something to do with releasing the doors/drawers from their hinges/runners?

They have recently introduced a spreadsheet (which im not against doing) for us to fill out for each school, it's taking time to fill out as instead of putting "carpets for all classrooms" they want each individual room and area listed then each thing that needs doing in that room/area with a...

I have an active risk assessment on the building that I fill out every day and have done since February last year, it is on the academy server available for every emplyee to look at, I am able to log in and check who has looked at it and the CEO, who is well aware of its existence, has not once...

Was speaking with one of the dads on my way to the shop yesterday, he works for a haulage firm based 5 minute walk from school, he said to let him know when I'm ready to leave and he can arrange a truck to move almost everything we have in one trip 🙂 so that's a weight off my shoulders, now...

Home is improving, after I cleared and cleaned the bathroom, resealed the bath and shower screen she made a start clearing the hallway and the smallest room, made me feel like my feelings were being considered for the first time in years, she got so much sorted I was happy to support her in...

Really enjoying myself at the minute, with only 5 weeks to go until the big purple wellness event at Merrist Wood on May 11 & 12 I'm concentrating on bowls as they're fairly easy and I can just about get 2 done at a time Ash pot pouri pot (yes I know the top is meant for flowers but it was in a...

Today's turnings, finished the willow bowl I used as a jam chuck yesterday, the bark was loose and trying to come off so saturated in CA before sanding and finished with walnut oil, absolutely love the colours, then turned another piece of Ash and used another Ash blank as a jam chuck to remove...

I have no idea what the moisture content is on my stuff, I've not got round d to buying a meter yet. At 20% you could finish it in the microwave for a few minutes at a time or in the oven at 100 degrees and check on it every 20 minutes or so

Depends on how tight the bark is fixed to the wood and when it was cut, if it was winter cut then chances are the bark will stay put so don't do anything with it, if it's loose or was summer cut then there's a good chance it will fall off so I'll saturate it with CA before sanding. All the Ash I...

Annie is a good guy, he has donkeys as house pets like we have dogs 😁😁😁😁😁

Welcome to the asylum 🤪

Keeps the wood pressed against the fence so you don't have your hands near the blade

Today's turning is a live edge Ash bowl, unfortunately I didn't notice until I was finished but there is a crack in the base that may open up if it moves, love turning this Ash, the chatoyance, rippling and colour is amazing and I'm surprised at how dry it is considering the tree was only felled...

So this one is a bit of a story, in response to another thread by @Jbonevia I offered to turn a lignum vitae bowls ball into a mallet head for him, I recieved it a few days later and the next day I mounted it between centres, there was a sizeable crack but I didn't think it would be a problem...

Just checked and it's an option in your profile settings

Ah thanks Noel, I can't see that when I check his profile, glad to know he's still about 😃

Is anyone else concerned that Glenn hasn't been seen since 10th Jan?

Surrey timber supplies, not sure about their prices but they seem to have a good selection.

The centre point can be a pain, especially in narrow cups like yours, a round nose scraper and a light touch is a good tool to get a more even finish

Looks fine, why almost successful?
