If you are using your bosses works and equipment I should check the insurance cover very carefully What are your liabilities if a fire occurs on your watch, do you have your own accident cover, etc,etc. Insurance companies are there to make profit for their share holders, not to payout on...

I am going to keep them for the moment, as I do have one or two jobs that want period screws. I was just interested that there wasn't a single modern screw amongst the collection, no battery drill/driver, or even a 'Phillips' screw-driver in the tool kit that I could see. Being a simple...

A friend of mine, has recently had to clear the workshop of a relative who was by trade a carpenter/joiner. The chests of hand tools were a delight to see (sorry no photos, not tactful), and my friend will probably keep them in memory. However he was kind enough to pass on to me forty odd...

The only suggestion I would make is to round off all sharp corners especially those of the front part of the deck by the wheel. Every welder in the world starts off by producing welds like that, its just a matter of practice. One point that is frequently overlooked even by long in the tooth...

Found one dead in the garden this morning, haven't seen any for a couple of years must be a good year for them. As for slow worms our new cat has decimated my carefully nurtured garden population, and she keeps leaving them in the bath when she has finished playing with them. The older cats...

Phase two of my return to woodwork, and I have just bought the material for my bench. Budget restrictions have meant that I visited the local salvage yard and returned with a £7 10 1'2"x3"x7' rafter from a building that was a 130 years old. I need to plane one face and one edge, I cannot do...
