Never read anything in my life by the pink dragon :lol: it's all down to google :lol:

I once saw Barbara Cartland in Bond Street getting out of her pink Rolls Royce and wearing an enormous pink dress - she looked a bit like a not very nice wedding cake :lol:

Cheers :wink:

The only way I can see of making an income from writing is to write best sellers, like Barbra Cartland! Not expecting this any time soon.....

Over to you David ...

Alf, you should of course realize that once one has reached the dizzy heights of ownership of a Brtish Racing Green Turbo Bentley, one would have one's man take care of the menial tasks of transporting such uncommon items as lumps of wood :lol: - Rob

 

[bugbear]

Can you get 8 foot boards in a Bentley...? :-k

Yeah - get the convertible, and have the boards stick out of the roof

[Alf]

All right; can one's man get 8ft boards in a Bentley? :lol:

 

[Paul Chapman]

And while he's about it, one's man might as well do the woodworking as well, which will save a whole lot of hassle :lol:

Cheers :wink:

[Paul Kierstead]

Or at least the sharpening and sweeping.

 

[David C]

...an odd choice of weapon, the green handle indicated that it was a Barnsley clicker's knife fashioned in an unusual manner.

A single anglepoise bench light cast eerie shadows round the Tormek and the sharpening station. As our heroic detective peered through the upper glass pane of the stable door, she became aware of three twisted shapes lying on the floor. Her flashlight confirmed that these were the mutilated bodies of three students who had failed to return to their digs for supper.

Oh dear, was it possible, had someone forgotten to lower the waterbath after use? .........

 

[AHoman]

...

and then a slight metallic glint caught her eye... what's this... a small clump of metallic particles, in the water tray... there is something in the center of it... we must get in there to investigate!


edited to say: I guess that should read "centre" around here -- sorry about that!

Hum, thats my question, maybe I could charge royalties on it, but I don't think there is enough it for a Bentley.

Back to the original topic - A thank you from me to David C, the books are great.

A big 'no thanks' to David C for my expensive and growing collection of LN's. I've been busy fettling my stanley planes to try and match the quality (fettling is worth the effort). I thought I would try and save some money by buying a stanley shoulder plane recently, but I've just been shaking my head every time I look at it.

I can also say a big 'no thanks' to Homebase for selling me an own brand belt sander which exploded after sanding about 5 square metres of flooring, which makes me think that only DeWalt/Metabo/Makita etc. will do.

Back to one of the spin-off topics - I once got an 8 * 4 sheet in a convertible Audi TT. I cut it in half lengthways and put an 8*2 bit behind each driver seat and drove very slowly. I don't have to worry about these things any more as a baby prompted me to sell my lovely car and buy a nice sensible people carrier!

p.s. I justify buying Lie Nielsen tools as they will be 'Heirlooms' as it says on the back, it's worryingly the same argument that my wife uses for buying jewelry

That's an argument you can win; the resale percentage of LN tools is around the 80% mark (which is remarkable).

The resale percentage for jewelry is (ahem) dramatically lower.

"Investment Grade Jewellery" is a lie, I'm afraid.
