    In a very seductive voice the wife asks her husband "Have you ever seen £20 all crumpled up?" "No" said her husband. She gives him a sexy little smile, undoes the three buttons of her blouse then slowly dropping it to the floor showing her cleavage takes off a lovely little £20 bra and throws...

    Myford planer

    There's no problem with using a Myford planer it was one of the best made and in my eyes still is far better than the cheaply made units on the market today. You cannot use the thickening plate without the hold down spring but you can get a new spring cut for it. I did a write up post on...
