Nice little dish Chas simple lines and very functional. Glad to see you are still getting workshop time but if like me at a slower pace as there is only so much you can keep storing up

I have the Robert Sorby modular system but found that changing the stems can be a pain but having said that I have two lathes and for the little inconvenience of changing from one stem to another is bearable. The distance from the workpiece is minimal and nothing to worry about, the advantage is...

A little progress on the tractor after deciding that the main piece that I had cut out was not to my liking so remade it. Also, which can not be seen drilling holes for various pieces of dowel to be added at a later date. The first of the glue ups take after it came out of the clamps I...

Today's little amount of work on the truck the rest of the day was either making and glueing parts for the tractor or doing some gardening. There is no reason for not being able to do a project like that, Take your time read and understand the plans and not just one page. Then work out how...
