well I am taking a break for a couple of days ...... there are a couple of tiny bits of trim to do in the galley but the work is basically done. SAM_2199 by mudlarker2, on Flickr trouble is that it was such a hard job getting everything sparkly clean ..... that I think I will be eating in the cafe for a while, so I don't get it dirty

The Dwarf putting the finishing touches to mouse catch can she filled it with three stainless pan scourers, I put a drop of loctite thread lock on each screw, she assembled it and nipped them up - I gave it the final torque up. Despite looking a bit stern she was pleased with her efforts, she's probably getting a bit weary of having a camera on her most days, the school record the class progress on an online learning journal as well as emailing a weekly newsletter - photography was way dearer when I was a kid, thankfully! She now knows what loctite is, what an Allen Key is and more importantly pointed out the cap head and Allen Key had hexagons π€π¨π¨π¨π¨π

Eating in the cafΓ© is a very good solution for keeping everything clean, and let the cafΓ© people do the preparation and cleaning up, they're getting paid for that . Peter.

If you ever have a too serious technical problem for which you can't find a solution, she'll figure it out for you . Peter.

Another well thought out and good looking job from the expert hands of youngman gazza. Your boatclub-member will be over the moon with this result (I definitely would be). Peter. Thanks Peter βΊοΈ He is a sound old boy, at the club Christmas do he stood infront of me in the queue for the bun fight - another friend of ours had smoked some strips of pheasant and put them with the spread, I'd had them before and knew exactly what it was. The old boy picks one up, sniffs it and says to me 'What are these boy?' I told him what they were and who had made them, slight pause, then came the loud reply (he's a bit deaf and wears a not very good hearing aid) 'hmmmm, they better taste better than they look - they look like a dogs dick!' I couldn't help but snigger, some of the ladies in the queue were not impressed with his critique of the smoked pheasant strips ππ€£π€£π

A great fella down at the boat club approached me some tine ago asking if I could make some frames to take a car sear, he and his lady friend are advancing in years - they are still boating but find their current saloon chairs difficult to get in and out of, he wanted to try a pair of car seats to see if they were easier to get on with. Last weekend I had a fag packet drawing to end all fag packet drawings thrust in my hand. He had acquired a pair of leather seats out of a Korean 4X4 of some description - I switched off a little at that point tbh. So it was off to work to dream up something to fit the bill. I didn't take many pictures, this is the bear bones of the job, a jig was knocked up, some 25mm box cut and tacked together in the jig then trimmed to length, 2 pairs required. They were then clamped together in pairs, spot drilled thorough at 6.5mm, then opened out to 16mm on one side (handed) to take the seat catch bars. 16mm black bar drilled and tapped M6 each end then skimmed to a slightly more round and accurate dimension. 8 off spacers turned and drilled and tapped to act as stops to prevent the seat sliding about. Bolt it all together, two coats of CombiColour and they will be presented to their rightful owner on Sunday (along with a 4mm and 3mm Allen Key - just like you'd get at IKEA πππ¨π¨) The above makes it sound like it took 5 minutes, it didn't, and I can't be tempted to go into production with them π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨π naughtyfox it's jobs like this that the pain of being screwed for having a day off with a sick child have to be balanced against. I'm very envious, not only of your ability but having a blooming workshop too.

So the dwarf knows what Loctite is for and Allen keys. Looks to me that she is getting a proper education. Phil

Sheds are for storing things in not working in! Brick built workshops are what its about. New place has a room in the house that will become the workshop it adjoins the double garage, perfect. Much better than a chilly ex wash house

For r the past few days I've been doing a major shed tidy, empty it out, sort, put up new shelves, mend shed and workbench, put stuff back. Needed to do it in dry weather to leave stuff out. Given some of the "twicer" tools to friends. Also had to put a new thermostat on the car and then the spark plug bar failed yesterday. Perfect timing as ever, I had a free lunch/meeting at dinnertime. Neighbour took me to scrapyard for part, dropped me off for free lunch. I did stand on my hind legs and earn my dinner, short speech about funding for us at Rochdale Feelgood festival, then tucked in to Meat and potato pie with red cabbage - a big crusty corner piece. Seconds was cheese and onion pie and red cabbage. Pudding a piece of chocolate cake. Fixed car on returning home, cadged a lift off a friend who I was giving tools to. Car now working, shed nearly done.
