    Give me some ideas please

    Giving up Woodworking

    I did start trying Intasia and bought a few books, looked at videos and tried, but it was not up to my standard, particularly when there are so many fantastic Intasia workers out there. Better to have reached a good standard with my boxes and I'm pleased with what I have learned over the years...

    Lawnmower help

    I used Mountfield rotary mowers for many years and they were first class, but at the last change in 2015 , moved to a COBRA, which has a Briggs & Stratton engine. Just as good, perhaps even better, so I can highly recommend either.

    Hi Andy, It would fit with the legs taken off. When new, it came in a box and had to be put together, so that could work. Lockdown still being a problem at present although hopefully it may soon ease. Call for a chat if you wish - you have.
