  1. Do I spy an old wooden Scarborough reel on the top right hand shelf ?
  2. Andy, did you make that rocking horse yourself ? If so where did you get the plans for it ? Or did you just make it up as you went along ? Cheers.
  3. You could always scan Facebook marketplace etc for any cheap French doors etc.
  4. Hi, I have a small ms180 that is just used for cutting firewood. Does anyone know if there are any metal spikes / dogs that would fit it as the plastic moulded ones are useless and have worn away. Cheers.
  5. A few month back, the hospital I work for, took on 15 new nurses from Zimbabwe. We have turned a ward into a home for them. All areas of the NHS are understaffed due to the abysmal wages. But the top management don't care because they are all working from home still and are in denial about what is happening.
  6. Over the past 12 months or so, I have started buying ryobi just to use in my joinery workshop. Cant fault them really. Ok they are not heavy duty like my metabo stuff, but now if its only for workshop use then I buy ryobi.
  7. I've also kept thinking about a small genny for general stuff, I would definitely look at the Clarke inverter ones.
  8. Hi John, I work at an old mental health hospital, and I know exactly how much money the NHS managers waste. Trying to keep the buildings and grounds ( including woodland) in good condition is a nightmare.
  9. I try and 20 minutes of weights every night, mixture of normal and kettlebells. My cardio is crap, I really need to improve it. I always start the day with 30 press ups without fail. Now I have 2 dogs I want to get out doing more hill walking.
  10. Fury for the win, then I think he might retire. I don't think there are really any decent challenges for him.
  11. Thanks for the replies, I will look into the Eufy system.
  12. Hi, I'm after some recommendations on half decent CCTV for the house. I've looked at yale, Swann etc but haven't a clue about what to get. I don't want anything fancy that involves uploading to cloud or anything, just a 4 or 6 camera package that saves to a harddrive and can be viewed on a PC. Cheers.
  13. I could well be wrong, but I have doubts about it being solid oak. I would be very careful leaving it outside regardless of what finish you use. I think it will just have a spray laquar on it. I would sand it and put yacht varnish on it, for the best chance of it lasting outside.
  14. I remember that mark, didn't the landlord of your yard demand back pay of rent arrears immediately after you got back to work or something ?
  15. I have passed a few in the doncaster area these past few days with no diesel.
  16. Some nice work there shavey. Did you manage to avoid falling down into the ditch? [emoji16]
  17. Couldn't you enquire about going back to kew, and gaining qualifications there ?
  18. Weren't keen on it really. It did me as soon as I realised it was just a variation of Restoration workshop.
  19. As someone else said, a belt sander would do the job well. Or how about splitting it along the join then running the 2 halves through a planer / thicknesser then rejoin the boards.
  20. What bugs me, is that I'm thinking about buying myself a small van ( Nemo, fiorina) due to getting my new dogs (Huskies), the Van's have a small 1.3 ltr engine yet they get charged at £280 or whatever but the car version is only £30. How is that fair when it's the same engine ?
  21. Scaffolding boards don't really plane up smooth. My preference in planers is metabo, as I have their planer thicknesser, which I have no complaints about. As for routers, I prefer makita. I have 3 makita routers, for different purposes and all work brilliantly. One is on its last legs , but will get replaced with another makita.
  22. Yes I got a sore throat once shouting at my 80 year old dad to put the saw down.
  23. For me personally, I use McCulloch chainsaws, for a cheap saw I have found them to be really reliable, use them for firewood mainly.
