Thank you for the lovely comments guys.
It's nice to make some stuff just for the hell of it.

Peter.
I'm back at the school on Tuesday but the flat stuff there will have to wait. The bloody table saw broke down just before next school years project wood arrived!

The "new" people that the "new" business manager called in to fix it took the motor away then quoted nearly £800 to replace it. I put the school in touch with another company who quoted £400. As the motor comes in at just under £300, I thought that quite reasonable.
Trouble is, the original cowboys still have the motor, with pulley attached!
Let battle commence!
I went part time at the School last year, and 2 days a week work in my home workshop. This is the stuff that I now need to work to deadlines, but I'm a lot happier!

Alison strongly dislikes the Sierras I bought from Dan, as she thinks they are too blingy!
Can't wait to see her face when she sees the Empress kits I bought from Woody
