Hi and welcome. The YouTube site I started my new interest in was one by Steve Ramsey called, 'Woodworking for mere mortals' It would not satisfy some experienced woodworkers but I found some of his older posts great, especially about jig making and setting up your workshop - have fun Jinx

okay will try that. I only left the sanding sealer for about ten minutes so that probably didn't help. do you buff up the sanding sealer before polishing though? Jinx

Looking good Paul

I am trying my hand with turning some pens and it is going okay, but can anyone answer a few basic questions that I am bemused over please? cellulose or spirit sanding sealer - I bought both is one better than the other ? My other question is likely to be controversial!! How to get a really...

Two great answers - thanks, I'll stick with what I have I think. Jinx

Everyone seems to make a workbench - which I didn't know as I found this forum after I got my shed pretty much set up - Am I at a real disadvantage do you think and in practice do benches take up much ore space? I know what I do in there will make a difference so let me give you an overview...

Hi Hazel, I think Benjimano made a really good point 4 posts up. Looking back over the thread after reading that it seems that the advice you have been given leads your thoughts to another 'problem' you feel you have and so on... in my humble opinion no matter what answers you get on here...

Hazel, why put yourself through the stress of doing work that I am sure you are capable of, but from your own comments, at this time don't seem experienced enough to do? Don't forget it is not just that you might not make much money, if someone is unhappy with your work and its a valid...

Steve, I'm in Colchester

Ha thanks for the kind words gents, Jothedrummer, I thought Good Hope Hospital, was called 'No Hope Hospital' anyway, which was not far from the 'Alsatian Grill' due to the publicity they got about all their locally sourced free ingredients ha ha. Yeah pics, I will have a go at posting some in...

Heck is this thread still going strong... Dr Phil got it right further up the page, no one is likely to change their point of view due to a discussion such as this. Overall it seems the pro speeders are in the minority so at least although we have to live with the fact that some will speed, it...

Thanks Wellywood, Thanks Dickm - as far as illness go not very serious but shockingly unpleasant - it came on in about 10 minutes after feeling a little under the weather for just an hour or so - I work by a paramedic base and I fell over in the room, vomiting, turned grey and was hooked up to...

Hazel I was on a persons work surface doing a window job from the inside, I stepped down and in the mean time the woman of the house had opened her dishwasher door behind me and I stepped on it and broke it! She was apologetic and so was I but it still needed to be paid for and she said, we can...

We expected a large work delivery for my wife today, 27 boxes. At 2150hrs tonight the door went and it was the delivery driver saying our delivery had been dropped at the wrong house and they had asked him to come back and get them. I sent him away saying come back in the morning, I hope he...

The downside was I got a serious bout of Vertigo three weeks ago - If anyones had it you know how awful it is - not serious, but a horrible illness and was signed off work for the first time in 7 years, last time it was for the same thing too. Anyway back to work tomorrow, but for the last 2 or...

Hi Markturner, You likely have gone past some tractors as described but you were probably going too fast to notice... And instead of the chevron markings it is good to use the phrase, 'Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule'... And regarding your question about the minimum speed, 'to avoid the...

Sutton Coldfield is great - I just moved south to cheer up the Southerners... (Waits for southern explosion)

Very nice work

Call me naïve or simple minded but none of the comments so far have changed my opinion from my first thoughts, that there are drivers of various skill levels, experience and aptitude on the roads and the laws need to cut across every drivers ability. But either end of that spectrum is catered...
