Looks like heaven to me

Not heavy but considering for the last 6 years I've not really had much of a physical load to the job I've gotten soft and weaker than when I was working construction, I used to unload pallets of 4inch concrete blocks 6 blocks at a time without straining, sand and cement 3 bags at a time 🤷‍♂️

Surely it will be almost impossible to police the registration of all of them, they would have to rely heavily on tittle-tattle from nosey neighbours.

A busy day at work today, needed a solid base for 2 toy sheds, had 14no 610x610x50mm (uckin heavy) concrete slabs so convinced school to order a bulk bag of sharp sand and 4 XL bags of cement, 7am this morning I was straight out there setting up lines and levels, digging out ready to lay the...

Stunning wood and very envious of the view behind in the first pic 😍

Unless you have a centre point to put your tailstock into its very difficult to reseat a piece back in perfectly. You could use a protractor to draw a circle the diameter of the goblet and cut it out and hold it to the goblet and align your tailstock with the centre point from the protractor.

This family are comfortable, we haven't spoken about budget yet, I want to sort a couple of designs then talk to her about costs. I have the dimensions for the calculator https://www.amazon.co.uk/CATIGA-CD-8185-Office-Style-Calculator-Green/dp/B07JD7S7NY The stapler is probably gonna be too big...

Holy 💩 that guy was lucky. Most tools spin in the direction of the thread so this doesn't happen, would love to know what caused it.

Not a clue, she said she is happy to let me choose the wood and the design. I have some big pieces of willow that have some gorgeous blues running through it that I could use.

I would imagine it will be very difficult to impossible to get the size and quality you want at the weights you want.

Looks like an old Singer, not many are worth money but they are beautiful things, if it isa Singer and you can find a serial number you can go to their website and find out when it was made, there is a charity that takes them in and restores them to send out to poorer countries and donates to...

Hence my thoughts around a bandsaw box style base, I don't have a suitable blade to make a bandsaw box but I can use the principles to create a drawer type base for the calculator at least, the stapler could have a spot on top with the "pots" for the pens etc @Phil Pascoe no, I don't do mates...

So a parent at school who is a barrister has asked if I'm able to make a desk tidy for her when she is in chambers that could accommodate a calculator and a stapler, now I'm thinking along the lines of a bandsaw box style base with turned cylinders on top, I've looked at Google images and...

Ahhhh now it makes sense 😁😁😁😁

No worries 👍

I don't see the point of having the logs in there, not only as stated above would you need to ensure they are very dry but you also run the risk of adding pests that may enjoy munching on your books and shelving, personally I'd leave the logs outside or by the fireplace.

Happy to do it 😊

Thanks Pat, it's gonna be a little gift for one of the teachers, she always sends me a Starbucks voucher as a thanks for keeping her plants in the classroom alive during the holidays 😀
