Unfortunately living on site in a school a yard sale isn't something the academy would allow but 100% agree with you on one thing at a time, the room she started on is the smallest but it's also the room with all the wardrobes and most of my clothes so getting it sorted with make a huge difference.

I think the biggest thing is that she has accepted that trying to sell stuff on the likes of gumtree and vinted take time and have many time wasters making it not worth the effort, now she is being a bit more realistic (to my thinking) and is more willing to give stuff away unless it's brand new...

Was out all day on Saturday at the national outdoor expo at the NEC with a friend, got home to find SWMBO buried halfway into one of the spare bedrooms, she had sorted through several boxes of old paperwork and dug out binbags full of toddler/baby toys that we had from when our many...

I have photos from the day of planting (the children have all helped plant them) right up to now some trees have gone from the 12inch whips that were delivered to towering 12 to 14foot monsters in just 4 years.

I'm getting there, the dryer warmer weather is definitely helping by allowing me to get outside and work on my areas of the grounds, 5 years ago I started planting trees up one side and across the back of the school field to create our own mini woodland that I have called Woodland Walk as well...

Another productive day today, 2 Ash bowls and a small birch lidded box which is from 2 small offcuts that were still a little damp so it may move more than I want it to. The shallow Ash bowl was from a crotch piece and has a gorgeous bit of feathering/flame in it

Mixing by hand is doable but you'll need a new back before you're halfway, the time between mixes could also lead to cold joints in the concrete which would always be a weak point and highly likely to crack. You are being totally honest and up front with these idiots having used your contacts...

Allowing 20 days for all that is reasonable, if the family have issue tell them they can be the labourer to help keep costs down but I don't see any way you'll get that job done in under 3 weeks let alone the 10 days they want you to do it in, I'd tell them if they want 10 days then all the...

Thanks Paul, they're all actually fairly simple to make, some parts are fiddly to cut and glue but once you understand the Instructions it's easy, like everything 😉 (except women, they don't come with instructions 🙃🙃🙃)

A simple thing that took way way way too long to make, we had a new screen and mobile trolley set up last week but the IT department decided not to include a laptop shelf in the package because it was too expensive (I looked on the website and it was £48 including VAT) the headteacher and I...

A productive day was had, went out to make a leaving gift for a colleague and the piece of Cedar "firewood" I was sent recently was calling to me so I put it between centres and rounded it with a tenon at each end then parted it in the middle, drilled a 12mm hole about 75mm deep and started...

Anyone heard from @Lefley? he seems to have gone missing since early January, hope he's OK.

Mine is MT1

I've done a few patios but never used porcelain, I imagine you'll need a bit more careful cutting them than regular stone/concrete slabs.

It's nice to turn with 😀😀😀😁

Some photos of the paper animals around school, the grid was a gift for the headteacher 5 years ago, our classes are named after animals starting at year R butterflies and ladybirds, year 1 puffins and robins, year 2 rabbits and chipmunks, year 3 koalas and penguins, year 4 sharks and...

I will do it with her but she needs to start it, she is very protective/possessive and even if I start pulling stuff out ready to sort through she will go mad and then uses it later as a reason for not being able to find something, it always has to be on her terms and that's part of the reason...

I buy mine in blister packs of 10 from poundland, that way if I only need a tiny bit I'm not worrying about getting it used up, although sometimes I can easily use up 3 or 4 blister packs if the wood needs it.

Those before pics look a like the way silver birch goes, I find getting it close to final then saturating with CA gives the best chances of a good finish off the tool and reduces the sanding needed
