I got a letter today notifying me that my pension is available to me from August 2015 and what were my plans for it of course. I was a little puzzled as I seemed to remember when I initiated the policy I gave my retirement age at 60 thinking I would be able to retire a few years earlier than the...

Congratulations to you both and may you have many more. :D

I know exactly what you mean Drudgeon, been there done that myself. :wink:

After fitting a loft hatch and ladders the other day the customer asked me for a couple of plinths in oak for his model steam engines. i made these yesterday out of some scrap oak and left over lacquer from the display cabinet. :D Nice little pocket money job. ;)

Well the glass arrived for this and couldn't be drilled to my specs so it was back to the drawing board! :roll: I had to add a face frame to it to take the new pivoting hinges. After running around like a mad man I got it ready for re-assembly again. I had already stained it so had to re stain...

I got the doors made ready for fitting in between my other jobs. :D

Turned yourself into a Gypsy Bob. :lol: Are you all going to live in a caravan then?

Had to visit a customer this morning so didn't get into the shop until late morning but I did manage to get the bottom section finished. I shall start on the doors next but my glass has arrived for the display cabinet so I shall be getting that fitted first. :wink:

Now that is interesting. With the 10.8V batteries being so cheap it might be time to change back to Makita. I used to have a 12V Makita impact driver and it was fantastic and only the batteries let it down. i have also have a 18V Li ion Makita driver which is brilliant but had three batteries...

From what I saw of the other furniture I think it will be an antique pine stain. :wink:

I think so. it is very much like a high solids sanding sealer and dries very quickly.

Does anyone know what's happening on the other forum (Woodwork uk) it has been down since yesterday? :?

My other job was postponed today so I got back on with this job. After cutting out the top bottom and shelves I assembled it. Then I got the bottom section part assembled. I will be on the other job tomorrow so this will continue next week.

I can't remember the name but there is a plastics shop on e-bay that sells it. HTH. :wink:

I made a start on my next job today a corner cabinet in pine. Glad to say the customer is going to put a finish on it so it's just a build on this. :D I started by cutting up two sheets of laminated pine and cutting the angles on them. I then put the slots in for the shelves and the sides with...

The Morrells stuff is very good. I am not a fan of Johnstones paints since I used some that never dried! :shock:

Meatloaf Alison Moyet Inxs Lulu Eagle eye cherry Earth wind and fire :D

Although the edge banding would speed up production on flat edges what happens when it comes to a routed edge? you are still going to need the Zinnser bin for those surely? There is a good MDF sealer from Morrells which is single pack and pretty much like sanding sealer it dries very quickly...

Yes also seen it before but still great to watch. :lol:

JEEZE Phil! Sorry to hear it, hope you recover quickly mate. :o
