I remember working in a garage in London and putting a engine into a MGB. It was getting late and the other two said “time to pack up and go“, but I really wanted to get to a stage before doing that so stupidly I said “No, you go, I will be done soon and will lock up” being a Friday they were...

I remember being in a jungle for a few weeks and we was all issued with hypodermic needles to remove little guests with. One lad sat down for 10 mins and we pulled 25 ticks out of the back of his neck. Hypodermic needles are indeed very good, but I am left with lasting memory's of someone...

Please contact them and test the claims. If it is indeed non-eco then I would not use it because of the principle of false claims. I will always use eco products if I have a choice. It works, I can say that. I made an arty hand carved window frame 5 years ago which gets the 35c+ in the summer...

I always have a watchmakers eye loop and watchmakers tweezers which have a fine sharp point, they really grip that splinter!

When I contacted the company to ask if the fishish was safe for wood spoons and bowls they said yes. I normally use walnut oil but if someone was allergic to nut oil it makes an alternative. So for raised beds I think it would be a good finish.

You are not alone with this. The thing that keeps me going is that time is fast, 3 years hence if I do nothing I will still be the same standard, if I make mistakes for 3 years, maybe, just maybe I will improve….doesn't always work out, but mostly.:)

I know what you mean when you say, life has flatlined. I do wonder if this is my memory or a reality? I certainly do not have rose tinted specs about the past, work was brutal, hours terrible etc. I have also not got to retirement yet, so anything can happen! However I remember as a child...

“Illustrated Cabinetmaking: How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works“ by Bill Hylton Get this book.Fantastic no nonsense clear drawing and really well explained how to fix and why. You will not regret it.

Hmm, this reminds me of the cold telephone calls I ONCE used to get. It goes like this…. Caller-Hello can I interest you….. Me-I will stop you there. Can I have your name, and company address please? Caller-Er, why? Me-Well I need to know where to send my invoice. Caller- What invoice? Me- Mine...
