    Ray Iles Inshave

    The Ashley Isles factory does regular tours for clubs etc. I’m not sure that individuals are entertained though. There’s only a few craftsmen there so it may be a bit disruptive. A fascinating place though. Top quality craftsmen in the old fashioned way. Highly recommended.

    Cheap lathe

    I’m fully aware that it’s a scam. What annoys me is that the hosts allow this kind of obvious scam. The host, Pinterest, Facebook, whatever should be liable for aiding and abetting and refunding the customers. That would stamp it out quickly.

    Cheap lathe

    I’m sure I know the answer (scam) but I have to ask the question…. This ad appears on Pinterest, and I’m sure on Facebook also, shouldn’t those reputable (?) websites vet the advertisers and ensure that they are pukka? could it be real?

    Stamford 484. Very “Waitrose” country. I managed 6 years but when the new vans came in last year it became a bit too much.

    De Haviland Mosquitoes.

    Great story about the Mosquito, and beautiful models, I’d be proud to own either. my dad was a Wellington bomber pilot in the war and always wanted to be a Mosquito pilot. Sadly never flew one, but post war did become an ace photographic interpreter on mostly Canberra squadrons.

    Some personal thoughts on the question of 'When might Woodturning Club Meetings start again'?

    I too belong to a small wood turning club that has carried on with Zoom meetings and demos. I really don’t like zoom and can’t get on with it at all, so have only ‘zoomed’ in a couple of times! I’m sure the club will continue when we can get together again, hall committee willing, but can’t come...

    Garden bench slats

    I was thinking oak, rather than some hardwood shipped halfway round the world. Chestnut maybe. I do have a hefty table saw hidden somewhere in the back of the shed.

    Garden bench slats

    I picked up a couple of old cast aluminium bench ends recently as dearly beloved wanted another garden bench. Just cannot seem to get timber for slats at anything near a reasonable price. Can’t believe what is being charged for 4’ x 2” x 0.75” hardwood. I need 7, or one large piece to cut. Say...

    it works even better if you answer the door completely starkers. So I practice home naturism, any problem with that?

    First Bandsaw Buying Advice

    If you can afford it, buy bigger than you think you will need. It’s such a versatile machine that you will find reasons why you need the larger one.

    Your opinion about logos.

    I know a little about web addresses. I would avoid an address with a hyphen in it. On many keyboards it’s a pain to hyphenate and some web sites don’t recognise a hyphen as a valid email character.

    Problem with pitched roof gap

    I built something similar which had a gap, not as big, but still a gap. I ridged it with 150mm wide by 1mm copper sheet that I get locally at a knockdown price. You could use lead flashing though.
