I really loved my Dad's Triumph 2.5l with overdrive. Really comfortable and very quick. Could get to 100mph, up the bank on the M5 near Rubery with 4 lads in it! My citron company car was so comfortable I almost stayed with the company to keep the car!! BUT, at the end of the day, I really...

Agreed Padster. Even tough it is the closest show to my place, I feel the cost is excessive though if you park, the best thing is to park in the Rail car park and walk/travellator from there.

Well Identified. For a moment I thought it was a mirror!!:giggle:

When seasoned, it looks good as pens or similar small items, just be a bit patient! Phil

Try hardening with Danish oil or sealer before taking the last few cuts. Make sure the sealer dries well though. Phil

Fascinating as it is, I'm not sure I have 2 1/2 hours of my time to watch it all. Spoiler alert, it looks fine in the end!! Other than the colour! And did I miss something, did he leave the boiler flue un-boxed-in?

I could add enough so the plane wouldn't get off the ground!! Phil

I did post this in the wood turning section, but thought others might like to see. It is one of 3 pieces of sculpture I am putting in to the 6 week outdoor sculpture exhibition at Showborough House near Tewkesbury. I'm still working on the other two but this is based on the Skylon from the...

I seem to remember Donald Rumsfeld being pilloried for the same thing when he stated that there were 'Unknown Unknowns!'

Or that he was born 6969!!

Is this a joke?

Just so that your friend knows, oak windowsills will bleach quite quickly especially on the South and West elevations. If they have any ornaments on the sills, then these will create darker patches. They look really nice when first done, but....!

Try Vaseline.

I knew there was a reason for using a pillar drill and vice, clamped to the drill bed! Phil

Thoroughly agree with the sentiments. I hate not being able to handle something that I'm buying, even fruit and veg. Only used a food delivery once when my wife and I were ill.

Just finished this for the Showborough Sculpture Exhibition in May. I need to get cracking on another two though! It's nearly 1m tall, made of Holm Oak (evergreen), heavy and made in 2 parts which I will glue together. It will have a steel rod inside which projects into the ground. I based...

Saw this on the BBC Hereford & Worcester site A real turner at least! Phil
