Nice find Phil, I'm hoping to get chance to visit my local carboot once my new work hours start in September, fingers crossed for some good finds

I plan to have a little stall outside the makerspace for when parents collect the kids at the end of the day (the joy of living in the school grounds, they have to walk past my door to get to the school) and the PTA have said I can have a stall at the school Christmas fayre. I am very creative...

I think around 100 pieces since I started in November, I've sold quite a few pieces to staff at work, I've gifted a lot to friends and family, I have a shelf in the maker space with most of what I still have and the rest are in the house, probably about 15 to 20 pieces.

Thats gorgeous dude, I always struggle to decide what to charge for my woodwork stuff but usually when I do private jobs for people (before being a school caretaker my trade was bricks, concrete and drainaged) I usually charge £100-150 a day plus materials

So I couldn't wait to use the new live centres and to finish the trophy I started yesterday, I couldn't find a decent bit of Oak or Hawthorn so I used my last piece of spalted birch and have to say I love the result, sanded to 400g then abrasive paste and finished with yandles brand diamond wax...

Want to show off someone elses work today, the very kind and talented @Phill05 offered to see if he could find why I managed to break 2 revolving live centres and to see if he could repair one of them so I sent both to him so he could compare them and the break points, today I recieved them...

Started a new project today, the caretaker at one of our academy's other schools is leaving soon and the other caretakers asked if I would make something so I've settled on a trophy, the others are going to get a plaque engraved, today I made the base from a piece of cherry, now I need to find a...
