Those 4 pieces of gidgee look similar to a log of robinia I was given a while ago.

@XTiffy @Spectric lets not fall out, I appreciate the humour and there was obviously no malice or point scoring intended. I've read every word of your replies and I appreciate it all so thank you all for your support. First let me assure you all, I have no intention and would never consider...

Anyone else ever feel the need to pack a bag and run? I've not been happy at work or at home for a while now and the more scenic reels I see on Insta the more I want to just pack a bag go. Problem is that I might not come back. I live with a hoarder that refuses to throw stuff out because of...

Maybe Ash? I'm sure @Phil Pascoe would know

This is something I've been considering, I have the schools gas meter and manifold in my space so have 2 large vents in the wall, one near floor and one near roof, figure I could install a solar powered fan in the lower vent to push air in from outside, just need to get the school permission as...

It won't be wasted, just won't be to hand and easily picked up, once I find a sheltered spot for it I'll spray it down and leave it be until dry/seasoned, I've been meaning to empty the garage out and de-dust everything anyway 🥴

I've been trying unsuccessfully to contact my gp for over a week, 111 weren't interested either, luckily SWMBO has an appointment with her gp this evening and is going to ask him about my symptoms over the last 12 days. So as far as exposure goes, I would say at worst it would have started on...

Just went and took a couple of quick picks, the lime has white mould growing where I've painted the ends with PVA, the silver birch "dragon eggs" that I baked for a couple of hours and should have been dry have developed a green blotchy mould. The eggs that are finished and have a wax coat have...

No need to buy a meter, I have boxes and boxes of CO2 meters that the government sent out to schools once they opened after lockdown, they give CO2, temp and humidity levels, will put one in there later to see what it says, I expect it will be very high at the minute. Air circulation in there...

I have a mask with built in goggles which means I end up taking it off constantly to wipe the mist/condensation out of the goggles section, kind negates wearing it really. We have chlorine tabs that we use to mop the floors if the dogs have an accident in the house, I can make up a strong enough...

It won't be near the kids, the space I'm thinking of is an old oil tank housing for the oil boiler and the wood will be sprayed with bleach to make sure it doesn't spread.

I don't think you're overstating, in fact this all explains the sinus infection and exhaustion I've had for the last week. Will be getting all the wet wood out at the weekend and cleaning everything else off with a bleach solution. Going to also look at fumigation to make sure I get it all.

No black mold just the white fluffy stuff. I've no outside space left in the garden but you guys have confirmed my thoughts so I'll have to look for somewhere in school to store stuff for a while so I can get the garage dried out and healthy again.

They also seem to be the ones most likely to make unfavourable comments when they come into the shop and decide to give their opinion on what I've done wrong 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

So Sunday I went into the makerspace after having a few days off due to not feeling great I discovered 90% of the wood including items that are turned and finished were covered in white fluffy mold, I wiped everything off but yesterday it was growing back, I'm not shocked at the logs etc being...

I have the wood but it's way too wet unfortunately, they would warp way too much once turned.

I love spalted birch, I've got so many small offcuts it's silly but they're too nice to throw out.

Saw that on instagram a while ago, some patience went into carving that out.

Welcome (back) to the asylum 🤪 I too ha e many hobbies and interests that I move between, I'm yet to find a way to amalgamate them all into one. My latest is discovering a love of rock and metal music having recently been to my first ever gig (I'm 42 this year 🥴)

That's definitely something I'll need to consider, not really looking to make massive 21inch+ platters and bowls but it would be nice to have that ability should the need arise. Its a lot of money to spend and I'm a long way off affording it but it will be a great excuse to make the 2.5hr trip...
