How can you turn pork into ham? I have some leg of pork in the freezer and I like ham. Or have I missed something? Merry Christmas John

They're good then? John

Sincere thanks James. I thought I had got over lack of motivation last year. But then whatever is responsible dealt me another blow by giving me a dose of cellulitis. This caused me to spend 4 to 5 months fighting the disease and also learning to walk again. Please don't think I'm moaning; at...

My bench. Still in the rafters of my shop. Three 16 footers of 12x2 inch. Southern Yellow Pine, ripped to 4.5 x 2s. Wife's illness stopped play. Not yet got the mojo back to finish the job. Probablywon't now. Just make some small tables maybe? Small farmhouse table? John

Very salubrious... Haven't quite got the space here! Bob; what is the paint you are using please? It has been sprayed; yes? Thanks John

Jacob has it. John

What exactly is it you can't do with the vice because of this broken spring? Can you still use the vice to hold work? After all the quick-release vice can be used without using the lever if you want the trouble. Maybe a spare from another manufacturer might fit. Best of luck John
