    Concrete sectional garage workshop refurb - Work has begun.

    Dave, I have considerable sympathy for your cogitation; our housemove saw me shrink my woodworking space to a third of previous, to wit: into an uninsulated, draughty, 16' x 8',1950's sectional concrete panel single garage (how in Hades did people get out of their cars if they drove them in...

    Ledged and Brace Gate

    Fitz, that is one of the nicest executed and thought-out projects I have seen on this forum. The choices of wood, design and finish are first class. Yes, I know, it's only a gate, but all the same, be proud. Sam

    Winston's View/Test of the Unicorn (tiny rounded tip) Edge

    Newbie in Ireland!

    Derrick? Absolutely! Taught in the next building over from him for years and saw him regularly after he retired. Last saw him on a pushbike at Connswater about two years ago, (think he may have hung up his leathers) and he was in great shape. Sam P.S. you should soon be able to P.M. me - and...

    Cleaning paving slabs - what works?

    Tony? It does etch a bit, sure, but not to a serious extent if you follow the guidelines and use antediluvian amounts of water after'timezup'. Sam

    I made one
