Welcome to the asylum 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Welcome to the asylum 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Some at work have learnt the hard way that they would better off poking an angry wolverine than telling me to man up, that phrase along with "its only man flu" are the quickest ways for anyone but more so women to pee me off, two terms used by women who generally expect men to be at 100% for...

I can be as calm and patient as a Saint at work, at home can be difficult, I've never lost my temper but I can easily get frustrated and get to a point where I feel I'm not being heard or listened to so just stop trying, her depression has been pretty bad this week, most days she hasn't got up...

It's papercraft flowers that I've had every child in school write their name on a leaf or petal, should look like this when finished... Had to print 2 copies to have enough petals for the 426 children we have here, once it's finished I'm then going to turn a vase for them all.

I generally try not but my brain doesn't always do as I want it to. Whether I want it or not, scenarios play through my head and usually worst case, I ignore it but it's hard to stop it having some influence. I'm currently occupying myself with the current headteachers leaving gift, I'll post...

Not spoken with her yet, she has planned 2 days at crufts this weekend with a friend and I don't want to ruin it for her so waiting until after that. Slight improvement at work, we have finally been told who is replacing the headteacher after Easter and I have asked her if she would be like to...

Had a huge delivery at work yesterday on a 4x8ft pallet, in the middle of all the boxes was 2 pretty sheets of what look like good 12mm ply, checked the edges and there's no bits missing, cuts are very clean, definitely going to be keeping them for a future project 😀

You guys never cease to amaze me with your generosity, just recieved a parcel from a fellow member who I won't embarrass, inside was a nice postcard and a beautifully scented piece of cedar 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 a bit of drying to do but it won't take too long 😀

PVA or melted candlewax both work well 👍

I would seal the ends and store it away out of the weather until its dry.

Spares or repair, this was the schools leafblower until it stopped working before Christmas, sent it for a service and was told it would cost around £250 for them to repair it (something to do with the motor) I convinced school to buy a new one (the br800 😁) so I'm selling this for spares or a...

Bought from a friend when I bought my bandsaw from him, thought it would be a good idea at the time but now after a year I realise it gets in the way and I just don't have a need for it so selling it to make space and put money towards parts for my motorbike. £120 collection from GU12 near...

She has battled with depression for longer than I've known her, it's one reason I've never lost my temper with her over the house even though I've come close a few times. Her depression got worse a couple years ago when we lost our Springer Spaniel, we had her from 8 weeks old and she was 15...

Hi Neil, they have accepted my refusal to enter so that's not an issue, I learnt a very long time ago, the hard way, to converse via email at work so I can protect myself if need be, I also have a folder with all of my emails regarding the building printed off along with the electrical and...

Unfortunately as we are a primary school there is no workshop space in school, that's more secondary school benefits but I don't deal with gobby teens, infants are much more fun.

You'd need to remove the varnish, if it has red/pink streaks running through it then parana pine, otherwise it looks like it could be beech

Agree with you, those bolts are pretty close to the top of the timber, gonna be a nice thud once the building is up and all that weight splits the timbers 🤪🥴

So I spent an hour getting the moldy stuff out of the garage and noticed something odd, apart from the dragon eggs that I baked dry in the oven, the mold is only growing on the pva that I painted the ends of logs with, the birch that isn't painted has no visible sign of mold. Plus the dragon...

@Jameshow thanks for the vote of confidence 🤪🥴 As Phil said, 60s and 70s stuff seems to be Beech or Parana Pine, at least the stuff I've broken down from here has been, one thing to be aware of with the benches is that most will have cracks running the length of them, the 2 we've condemned...
