Thanks for the comments/suggestions. With regards to storing my stuff with someone i know, i'd rather not inconvenience anyone else, particularly as i have no idea how long i'll need to store stuff for... plus i'd rather things get stored somewhere that's very secure and insured for piece of...

That's what I was worried about with the shipping containers. They are advertised as being insulated and also have a dehumidifier in there too :(

That acf50 stuff sounds like good stuff, thanks for the suggestion Mike! Thanks Cabinet man, it’s all a very weird situation, but i’m lucky that there’s plenty of space here at the moment to not be constantly under each other’s feet. I know things will take a while, as we need to get the...

Thank you everyone for the advice! Hi Mark, sounds very sensible to record everything, but it sounds like you’ve had a bad experience with theft from a storage container?

Thanks James, i'm sure that'll go down well!! :LOL: Thanks Phill. I've got some Axminster machine wax which i tend to use anyway, but would it be worth getting some VCI paper to lay over the exposed cast iron surfaces too?

Due to the misses and I splitting up we're unfortunately going to need to sell up! So once we sell the house I will need to put most of my belongings into storage while I look for a new house to start over - this also includes the entire contents of my workshop. So with this in mind, I was...

Thanks Mike, i appreciate the kind comments. I wouldnt even know where to look to start selling something like this, and also wouldnt have a clue what kinda price i could realistically ask either?

Just finished making my first chopping board. Mam requested the first chopping board i make to be hers, so i used up some scraps of american black walnut i had to make this end grain chopping board. These are a lot more labour intensive than i thought. The board has had an overnight bath in food...

Thanks all for the kind comments. My mate and his partner seemed to be really pleased with it, which is what matters :) That would probably have been a good shout. The lollipop stick was only there to wedge/clamp the tongue in place while it was gluing

For those who are interested, I’ve just posted a bunch of photos and explained the process of making this dog money box… https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/carved-dog-shaped-moneybox-from-welsh-cherry-african-blackwood-and-bloodwood.132391/

and a final photo shoot of the finished product… (please excuse the background mess… we’re in the middle of doing the kitchen and utility room!)

Apologies in advance for the verbal diarrhoea, but i thought it best to get the describing out the way and then just post all the photos in the rough order it was all done, so feel free to skip the writing and go straight to the photos. My mate has just had his first child, so to mark the...

What was supposed to be a fairly straightforward dog shaped bandsaw box turned into me taking a very therapeutic dive into attempting my first ever proper carving. It’s a money box for my mates first baby. I’ve sunk 50+ hours into this, so it’s a bloody good thing I started over a month before...
