6 March · Grays · Warning..!!!! Recently we parked in a public car park. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for petrol. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get...

The wife got a 17" Acer and currys are upping it to W10 and backup on a memory stick. Her 17" Toshiba has been used the past 7 years and I am taking it on board to run my pdf music and midis on my Yamaha. Mac are no good for my usage. They gave me free Cloud for a year, but if I do no renew...

My wife would like a new 17" laptop but every where I look its windows 8. anyone know where there is a W7? How reliable and stress proof would buying a w8 and taking the w10 upgrade off the net?

I'm back, so what timber are you using? It seems to have no colour variation.

New immigration fence ordered by Mr. Cameron.

Still no knots

Crispy, if you had knots as well, now I will congratulate you on an onerous task

Well I have not seen a knot in anyone of those pieces, please can I place my future timber requirements with you. I think you need the weekend off after that order. :)

sorry about the confusion. Second carcass underway Mentioned earlier that the timber used has been difficult to work and example in the following photograph shows a knot/fault which did not appear on the outside. (timber reduced to 8mm thick) Yes it was nice to hear from old friends...

How about using pieces of paper or card to just change the fence difference, easily create upto 3mm. I regularly use some straight battens to avoid upper blade bearings on thinner pieces.

Thanks all for looking. I think my woodworking season is over for this year unless there is a big change in weather the next two weeks. Might be late starting up next year, told I need a new knee this week but after having 4 months off with that Achilles heel this year I told the nhs I did not...

The clock now finished used sanding sealer and wax polish.

Surfing the net this morning I ran across this stowaway stool project, it could be handy in the workshop for storage and when you want to sit and think perhaps and also a good starting project for anyone interested in starting in this hobby. (my clock should complete this weekend)...

My Mazda 2 is a 2007 auto model and the best car I have had in over 50 years of cars. Roger perhaps the first owner of your model went cockling at Morecombe Bay? (to Mazda 2 older models I note after rain the front doors load up with water if the drains are not cleaned out at bottom of door.)

A neighbour of mine purchased a Ford Anglia 1963 model a few months ago, he was proudly displaying pictures of the rebuild because of rust problems. When he told me what the car cost you could have purchased a new Asian car So rust does not seem to trouble some people.

I pinch the wifes plastic clothes pegs, or use the ones with broken springs.

:) you will need to shave more often.

More progress, The local glass supplier had a new cutter and it took three attempts to fit glass to the dummy door. So here is a dry run, the false door and clock into position, ready to put some internal finish to the timber and then glue internal mechanisms. displayed for viewing.
