Thanks - that's a very true comment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh and just to be clear the text is laser etched so actually cut into the wood. Once again thanks to Mike for that. It really makes the piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ummm yep! Originally I'd planned to put a piece of wood under each glass with a routed out circular slot for the glass to sit in. The handles would have sat on top of this and were sized as such. When I decided not to do the circles I forgot that it would have raised the handle. As it is it's...

I posted a more detailed account but it's laser etched courtesy of Mike Dempsey who very kindly offer to do it for me. It's looks stunning in the flesh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well this is the last thing I made. I've posted about it in a thread called "Wine Carrier" so I won't bang on about it here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn't sure where to post this as my project has had posts regarding lettering on wood and also about dovetails. It's also the most recent thing I've made. Anyway I figured it was best to go here. So here it is my finished wine carrier. I made it out of oak and as you'll see I it has a...

Ah this is good to read. I bought some of these in Screwfix last week. They were a deal on the counter and I was aware of them and thought they might be handy as they do all materials, good to hear a positive review. Tried them on wood yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a Rotex 125 a few months ago and it really is a great sander with the gears it's very aggressive, without the gears and the speed turned down it's a fine and delicate device. It might be a lot of money but it's a lot of sander and cheaper than buying two different types. Sent from my...

Don't forget a cake will be on a cake board so not really an issue. Most cake stands are covered in foil so if you're doing that then MDF or Ply will be fine. If you want the wood on display then a mid toned wood is probably advisable. You don't want it too dark or light to contract with the...

I use imap and as you say it syncs across all of my devices iPad, Mac, PC and phone without a problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like I say it depends on circumstances and what you think your Dad would have wanted. I suspect you'll get a few hundred for what I've seen and you may think your Dad would have wanted that to pay for a family trip etc etc. You just need to do what feels right but I thought I'd mention the men...

I found somewhere online where they can send me frames to try so I'll give that a go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whilst that is true I've always found Vision Express to be excellent and in my opinion significantly better than Specsavers. They keep all of the photos of my eyes on record so that if they spot anything they can go back and compare it to my previous results. They were doing some of the tests...

Just to comment on the independent vs high st. My wife went to an independent recently and has been back 3 times to have her glasses adjusted and they were still not right. I've also found vision express to be excellent so I go there. Whilst I was booking my appointment the girl serving is...

I'm after some prescription glasses. Not the sort with the metal frames and plastic side protectors but a more wrap around style. Any suggestions as to where I can get some? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The funny thing for me was that I had to read it twice as my brain seemed to naturally fill in the missing bit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to vision express yesterday for a regular test and went to pay and they told me they are currently not charging for eye tests! I did even need to buy anything. I am going to get some safety glasses but I didn't get them yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You'll probably get most for them on eBay. Another option that you might like is to consider donating them to the Men in sheds project. There is probably a local one near you. Alas I'm too young to join but it seems a worthwhile charity and you might like the thought that they have gone on to...
