That is a beautiful finish - go on, you have to tell us how you achieved it! Edit - Sorry, not sure what went on there. That was aimed at sawdust=manglitter.

Carefully?

My wardrobe.

Sorry, I thought I'd put it in the original post. Here you go.

You've obviously not subscribed, Mike! :)

I admit having something dangling down quite that far takes a bit of getting used to.

Interesting, Mike. I've made some Mackintoshesque motifs from that bog oak and I'm having the same problem as you. I've used hardwax oil and it's not good, certainly not as good as I would normally get on ordinary oak. I'm considering using a black wax with wire wool, but it is quite intricate...

Boom-boom. I never saw them coming :) On a similarly predictable note, a local pub had a bonfire event and hired Portaloos. They have been stolen. Police say they have nothing... The theft, sadly, is true. Some people will steal anything. I ❤️ Kirkby.

When I built my workshop I put a sink in the corner and installed a Strom tap from Screwfix. I was never very happy with it, it was either on or off and when it was hot it was scalding. A few weeks ago it packed up entirely so I wasn't sorry to see it go. I've installed a replacement: I'm...

Thank you all for your input, much appreciated. There is better news on the tootsie front. The insoles are nice and thin, so I don't feel I need a size bigger boot. I had them on for about an hour and had to switch them off as my feet were getting too hot. But that hour sapped the power pack...

Thank you all. I've ordered the one from Amazon (before I read Bob's post) so I'll give it a whirl as see what happens. I'm glad I've ordered something, as the more I think about it the more I'm sure I don't have the wiggle room I need.

Yes, I learned that lesson the hard way. I once veneered a tabletop with some exotic burr, using epoxy. The breather strip was bonded rock hard and a couple of hundred quids worth of veneer went to the tip. I shouldn't have done that.

I agree. I don't know how they know how big the capacity is, there doesn't appear to be any ID on it at all. Insoles arrived today, they look fine.

They are the people I bought my valve and hose from. Very pro. But I'm trying to do this on the cheap, the days of deep pockets are long gone.

What thickness do you use, please, Bob? My present bag is 0.5mm. I've found a place that does polytunnel stuff for £7.50 per m at... 9.5m wide! The carriage will be more than the goods!

Yes, I did, but they have changed the listing (and halved the price) since I bought mine. On the original listing it gives the waist size as 43", which should be generous, even for a porky lad from Nottingham.

Clearly you are right, but that was not made clear in the listing, which was supposed to be UK-based.

Not Boyes, no, Chiltern Mills. Apparently the landlord wants his place back. Never thought of Boyes, I'll pop in. Went to the Range yesterday, they've stopped selling it. TN, where should I look for poly-tunnel film?

Well it's been a bit of a fight. Me: I'd like a refund please, this is ridiculous: Them: Sorry, would 30% off be OK? Me: No, I want a full refund. T: Sorry, would 60% off be OK? M: No, would you like negative feedback? T: Sorry, you have a full refund. So I don't really know what to do...

I'm prepping the layons for my wardrobe doors, but I have discovered that my vac bag is barely big enough. The door will go in, but there is very little clearance on length and I'm not sure I shall be able to seal the bag. Another 6" would have made all the difference. Sigh. I did have a 3m bag...
