Yes John, I'm just getting these panels finished, then laquered, then installed. Should be a few more days, weather permitting. Steve

Apparently the number tattoos are all just an unfortunate coincidence! To commemorate the death of his father in 1988 he decided to have 88 tattood on his face so that whenever he looks in the mirror he'll be reminded, not of his father, but of the year he died! Makes perfect sense.

The L shaped brackets that you can get at B&Q are quite easy to bend if you don't mind how it looks.

Still a work in progress, the panels to fence the sides of the Pergola I've just finished.

Maybe it's just me that doesn't know but what is benchtalk 101?

I don't have Sky TV so, you guys watch it and I'll tune in here for the forensic analysis. One of the celebrity presenters is dressed as a lumberjack and I'm going to let that fact cloud my judgement. :unsure:

From my point of view I've had a RP305, an RP CL4 and I now have an Axminster AT1628VS. All of them have been good but I knew that I was going to be using a lathe for as long as I am able so I upgraded to the Axminster which has everything I'll ever need. The head swivels which is great for my...

I like that, a great way to do it more economically.

Crikey, are you a trainee lion tamer?

OK, thanks for the reply. In hindsight I should have saved a bit of the old frame so that I could copy the profile.

Leftover from my house renovation I have a wood framed double glazed window and the wood/glass front door. The frames for them were destroyed when they were removed but I an thinking of re-using them at some point and I would like some advice on how easy or difficult it is to make a new frame...

Is that some 'herbs' in the second picture? ✨:cool:✨

I used to do a lot of backpacking in the 80's and 90's, been to all sorts of places and done all sorts of jobs but I was never in a position to work only for food and accomodation. I needed to earn money to travel on to the next place. Now that I'm more financially secure I could happily...

How the hell does he keep it steady through the initial acceleration?!

I will also miss all of the invaluable input from Mike on this forum, I hope this can be resolved. Following the recent changes to the forum I was under the impression that any moderation was done with a fairly light touch (sunnybob's heavy handed comments aside) so it baffles me to hear that...

Thanks Andy, I think I can see it too now that you've put the suggestion in my head!

Well, I've put my bid in and I'm so confident of getting it I've already set off on the 2500 mile return journey.

I've had the conversation about selling stuff I make a few times with friends and it never has a happy ending. The most recent one was with a friend who came around for dinner and he noticed a small Yew lidded pot that I had recently turned. He asked me about it and during the conversation I...

OK, thanks. I thought it would be a long shot. A couple of the letters are discernable, maybe. I think the second one is a U and the hole at the right hand end looks more like a shape than a letter.
