My first car was a 1lte mini it had a walnut dash, drove to wales in it with me other half on the way back it was peeing it down wipers on full then one flew off it took hrs to get home. Second car was escort rs2000 fantasic car lots of fun, Dean done banger racing in a hillman hunter looked like a mini after tho but still went. Mozza I agree the peugeot 1.9gti is a fun awesome machine me bro use to have one.

It start off being a spoon then the end broke so spork it became.
-
Just need to try a proper fork next. If i had to make one to survive i think i would starve it takes me a good few hrs depending on size and wood.
-
Here's a few spoon carvings, knives they are carved with the flexcut tools which i find the handle more comfortable plus im cack handed.
-
If you go Classic Hand Tools Limited - Flexcut Carving Knives These are the ones i use imo i find them better than the frosts ones, All i do is draw a spoon shape on a bit of wood and start carving. It takes alot of patients have fun:001_smile:

I've had mine done through domestic and general FOC, Cavity wall and 12" of loft insalation. They also posted me about 10 free energy saving bulbs and if on a low income they help with a new boiler too. I've saved about £30-£40 per mth and didnt use heating at all last winter.
-
No but your post will be, ive already had mine deleted:sad:
-
Done a days work for a few joints of beef and a couple legs of lamb.
-
Broke a cupple of ribs play fighting with my brother, Mine took a while to heal (2-3mths) what made mine worse at the time is i had hayfever and it was a killer when i had sneezing fits.
-
Cool i best find me some gonks then:001_smile:

The chisels you have are mainly used for spindle work eg mushrooms, goblets. The deep fluted ones are stronger and less vibration and are better for bowls. The finger nail bowl gauge has the bevel ground at a different angle so it doesn't catch. The wider of the gauges you have are for roughing out only on outside not taking inners out.
-
If you put it in a bag with damp shavings and leave for a while that should help dry it out slower, I turned a goblet green and left it over night in morning it was split:sad: Sealing it with bees wax might help too. Microwave helps to but thats not easy.
-
Nick they look cool for first attempt, it is turned green??? Dean did you get a bowl gauge (finger nail) ???
-
Is it grind out stump too:scared1: What a mess that would make.
