    Glue

    If you use CA, that’s great. If you use PU, that’s great. I don’t! I use epoxy. The most economical and best consistency in my opinion is this stuff: It’s in the middle of Lidl today but don’t try the Letchworth store after about ten as there won’t be any left! I need about fifty tubes. I...

    Very lucky/ clumsy

    Hi all, A word to the wise, I am a manual worker in my daily job, I am a carpenter at a school. Whilst in a rush to do something today I should have used a vice to hold it, instead I held it in my left hand and when I applied toooo much pressure to the 01phillips screwdriver in my right hand it...

    aanother segmented vase type bowl thingy

    The daughter in law had a pine table that her family have owned for years. She was rather upset having to throw it out due to space retrictions etc. She was really very upset as she remembers using it from day 1. She offered it to me for burning and I just could not do that so I made her a vase...

It may be done like this by others but just went for it. Firstly got the white decal waterslide no good no good for the 2 jobs in mind...

    Delville Wood

    Last year, on a tour of the French WW1 + 2 battlefields, we visited Delville Wood, where 2500 South Africans (and many others) perished in the Great War. I found a small chunk of French Oak (fallen and picked up, I hasten to add), brought it home and have now sawn a blank and made a pen with...

    Mixed woods

    Had two left over blanks so rather than one top one bottom cut them all in half, glued and turned this evening. Few burn marks to match the joints. It’s a present for my partners son. He started it but got a bit nervous the Xbox was left alone to long lmao, so I finished it for him.

    Live and learn!

    I was coming to the end of a full day teaching yesterday when the wood fairy turned up with this. It's approx 10" diameter. It's a root burr from a Lleylandii, very common apparently but not seen so much as the roots are normally left in situ as they don't sucker and just rot away. Another...

    Party time

    A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check. When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two...
