Well not quite an Amish barn raising, but not bad for a one man build. The delay in progress has been due to the local planning dept threatening me with an enforcement notice if I didn't submit a retrospective planning application. After much huffing and puffing they have now conceded that...

Hi Danielle, I hate mdf and avoid it like the plague, but from reading posts on here apparently the more expensive exterior grade stuff doesn't get such fluffy edges and is much better to paint

Why use European Oak if your painting them ? :?

Very interesting, will be following this one closely :)

They'll be selling them as Festool next Rico :lol: :lol:

F A N T A S T I C a child with a brain =D> You should be very proud Dodge :mrgreen:

Terrible the way theyre kept Melinda :evil: . Im going to get myself half a dozen shortly, they still lay really well when the batteries are done with them. :deer Its a shame more people didnt get behind that guy from River Cottage :(

Ah yes Cherie and Tony :x the Bonny and Clyde of Downing Street. Phony Tony must surely hold the title of the biggest crook ever to hold the position of PM :evil:

There were three smiths near me for years, John ,Brian and Bob (sounds like the start of a joke :D ) they were masters of their art Sam. They could make you anything from a bit of bar. Long gone now though, some steel fabricators have the old building and all the magics gone :cry:

Best of luck Losos with your new venture :ho2

Great sentiments Hudson and Stew, but realistically there must come a point where it wouldn't make sense to invest your life savings in a business start-up

That's amazed me Alan :shock: , your rate of production and tremendous enthusiasm made me think you were somewhat younger just goes to show "theres life in the old dog yet" :mrgreen:

In Losos's recent thread,( For those in business - Accounts question) he said his friends thought he was mad to be starting a business at his age. Don't know how old Losos is, but what do you consider to be too old to start ?
