And the significance is..? OOPS! Forget that! Steve :wink:

Hi Dog, May I enquire as to how much they rushed you for it? Steve

Italy's off my pecking order altogether! Interesting about what you said about Taiwan, though. I was at Terex Benford's factory recently, and they were saying that Taiwan was their first port of call when outsourcing because of the levels of investment they undertake, the sheer ingenuity and...

Steve in pub Saturday evening... "So you were on the net again last night Steve, eh? (Knowing winks and nudges)" "That's right" "All the conspiracy theories, ****ography, chat rooms and all that" "Of course not! Actually, I was composing a little rhyme about a buddhist bird who... Okay, okay -...

But there's no need to be upset or to grieve for said departed sparra 'cos he's a fully-feathered bhuddist so he'll be back some time t'morra

Speak for yourself duckie. How else are we supposed to afford LN? :cry:

What a fantastic piece of work. I await the next instalment - and my compliments on the photography! Steve

I was going to make a pushstick, but I didn't have a pushstick. :cry:

Well I think it's a pokey little hole. Anyway - SWMBO keeps telling me that size doesn't matter. Besides - Lincolnshire is so flat. And who on earth would want a second hand woodstore with a variety of timber in it? MDF? Perleees. The colour scheme's awful. I hate hanging striplights. It'll...

Oops - forgot to log in! Just in case John reads something sinister into that fact, this is to confirm that the above posting is mine. Steve

Blimey! Neil - my crack about the punchline was just that - a bit of levity. I thought that was what John was up to, trusting soul that I am. I too appreciate your taking the trouble to let the rest of us know, and I too say keep 'em coming. John - relax a little, will you? :wink: Steve

What would Norm know about hand tools? :wink:

Hi Neil, Is there a punchline or summat?

There ya' go Jaymar! See Alf? This research is crucially important and belongs firmly in the main topic area. It's bringing positive benefits already! Steve :D

Hi Alf, Hi Esp, I contacted the research committee, and the jury is out about the drill chuck fairy. Some are certain that this is an evolutionary step in the genus which seems to have appeared this century, whilst others think it may be of a different genus altogether: genus 'werza'. This...

I thought not, because it's about woodworking, therefore general woodworking. Am I being too literal? Or would you be intimating that it wasn't 100% serious by chance? It's like the old saying goes... Pray Lord, save us from forumi relocatus (I'll make a cuppa, shall I?)

PENCIL PISKY (nikkus scribet) ORIGINS The origins of the species are unknown, but recent research points to a direct relationship with the Timber Troll (woodus hidet), the earliest references to which apppear in the Norse Sagas in relationship to the Viking shipwrights in the Trondheim region...

I bought them at the Ally Pally show - I think from the Craft Supplies stand. No receipt or proof of purchase - not that they didn't give me a receipt, just that I have no idea what happened to it! I'll contact Freud and let you know how I get on. Should be interesting. Steve

Steve (back from the shops and with apologies to FF Coppola!)

The thought of taking one of those bits to that beautiful chair fills me with dread and foreboding... :cry: I'm sticking with Trend or good ol' Wealden from now on! (Haven't tried any CMT cutters yet - they really do seem expensive). Steve
