It's to do with the number of posts you make Steve nothing more, though I can't find any info on how many posts you need to progress through the ranks. You'll notice I'm a "master furnituremaker" all that really means is that Im a gobby sh@~$

Cheers Mike

Seems to me that you might stop doing woodwork of whatever description and sit all day in front of your PC posting messages on this forum! :lol:

Learn a lot but never put it into practice unless you have spent most of the last 3 Months on the sick like myself

:? I can do better than that. Spent the last 18 months off sick and had open heart surgery and just been retired on health grounds.
It's a swine when you've been as strong as an ox for most of your life. I even used to enter anvil throwing contests (honestly).

Are you able to do much :?:

I can manage about half hour on the lathe. Biggest wrench is that I also do wildlife photography and now I can't walk very far so I'm not able to get around the nature reserves.
I once walked the whole of the Cornish coastal path with my spaniel and we had a great time.
:wink: Still, mustn't grumble - there's lots worse off. My old dad used to say, "I moaned about my legs always hurting until I saw a fella that didn't have any."
Keep taking the pills! (18 per day!)

Jack, i'm on 36 pills a day now, and i'm just gettin into lathe turning
even though i've had my (cheap ) lathe for a couple of years now.
It's the only woodwork i can manage for a couple of hours at a time at the moment. :wink:
