    Dewalt radial arm saw

    Dewalt 721kn 240v This was bought ex demo in 2016. It was used for a few days on one job and has sat in the corner of the workshop unused ever since.

    House build

    Hi, I started a house build in my spare time a year ago to this day and thought I’d show some progress pics.

    So we recently finished a kitchen for a customer and they owed a few hundred for some extra work.

    Last kitchen of the year

    Few pictures of the kitchen we finished today. Number 4 of 6 kitchens we’re making for a local builder who uses us to make all of his kitchens in his new build houses. We used the under stairs space for a shelved out larder. Pictures really don’t do this house and kitchen justice.

    Christmas bonus

If I just add it on to the wages they will be taxed, but could I give it as a tax free gift? I’m not trying to save myself tax but them if it can...

    Burning plywood on the woodburner

    Just wondered if anyone’s got any idea whether it’s ok to burn birch ply on the woodburner? I’ve got loads of off cuts from the last few kitchens and getting low on firewood. I’ve just put some on and it burns a treat but will the glue fumes coat the lining? Anyone else burning ply regularly.

    Machine graveyard

    A few miles from ours is an old sawmill, all overgrown with a few old workshops which are starting to fall down. We passed early this morning and decided to hop over the fence and take a look. It was amazing, almost as if work finished one day and then it's never been touched! Loads of abandoned...
