Finally home for a well earned (in my opinion...) week’s holiday and found this lot after emptying my gear out of the truck:




Looking forward to a dram or three of the Muckle Flugga very shortly, and can’t wait to use my splendid new pressie from OH that was waiting for me:



.
I’ve been wittering on about getting one of these for a long while, so as OH is going to India on her annual jolly tomorrow, I have all next week to practice .

Also found this while clearing out.

Children look well trained, checking your belt tension for you.

I don’t understand these modern times, in my day children cleaned chimneys or worked down coal mines.

Next thing you know, women will be allowed to vote and drive perambulatory conveyances . ()

Also going to replace the top and add a couple of decent T slots.

Does it have any provision for a Riving Knife at the moment, although most joiners saws don't have them fitted so they can use then to trench parts out to form profiles/rebates?

Not yet. Have a few donor knives from old skill saws.

Tbh my smaller Clarke hasn't had a riving knife on it for years and haven't missed it.
Again removed for blind cuts and never refitted.
Big saw has its knife in place as it's mainly used to rip long lumber

Il fit an nvr though

And in time you need to tell the wee chap that belt tension is best checked at a point mid-way between the pulleys run.

Will you be tidying it up, 'refurb'ing' or just checking and using when needed? You know we'll expect progress pics.....

Just a new table.
Doesn't look it but it's made from pine and hardboard. Melamine on top.
Not really worth doing anything too.



Was expecting an old motor in there bit looks pretty new.

New switch and new table at some point.
Won't be heavily used. Just an easy to access tablesaw
The others live in the lockup without power and come to site as needed (not often)

When I first got into music production virtual instruments we're not cheap.
Ok. You still get expensive ones but they come up on offers regularly.

Reduced from £95 to £12 for a week.
Don't mind if I do.

Nice little modular additive synth and the mappable x y pad makes getting movement in a sound a breeze. Each corner can be assigned to any parameter.
The line represents time and the speed varied on each leg.

Update: This is the finest single malt that I’ve ever had the privilege of drinking.

Just worked out that after buying it from a place that has Viking influences, it travelled a few miles shy of 1100 miles over 4 days in a Swedish truck via Aberdeen then west and east London, Lakenheath and North Yorkshire before it got home, and it was worth every mile and minute!

Lol..

My body has a pretty violent shuddering reaction to spirits. Completely uncontrollable for a few seconds after a sip. I take the hint and stay away from it these days.

Today I acquired this, well it was actually yesterday now that I think about it, days are a blur as I am quite busy at the moment

20 inserts and a 63mm dia face mill body for just over £100 plus VAT. It was going to cost me that just for 10 Sandvik inserts for the face mill I have been using.

To day I acquired not to trust another person's actions

Got to job today alarm is playing up (beeps every 5 mins or so) we had next door round the last time it was the battery back up on the alarm box out side so he took the battery out still bleeping. We also switched the power off but still happens
Ok let me have a quick look so opened the panel an beeps keep coming removed battery and power still beeping I said the sound in this cupboard dont seames be coming from the alarm
Reply yes it is we removed all the other stuff and it's still beeping so I carry on removed the beeper and the whole internal panel gave it to the wife and put this in the kitchen
As see walked to kitchen it beeps again In the cupboard I pull out the pen holder and in there is a bluetooth speaker that goes in car that's running out of power

I turned and said I'm assuming you did not remove every thing then

They looked a bit sheepish

I remember a loch fishing trip to Orkney with a mate. After we got off the ferry at Kirkwall, we headed into the local Spar shop to stock up on the essentials for the rented loch-side cottage at Stenness - you know.....bacon, eggs, milk, coffee, whisky, beer etc, as you do.

I spotted a few bottles of 100 proof Highland Park and just had to buy a couple of them [no....it was one for us and one for my Brother in Edinburgh ]. Picture this...fishing done for the day, peat fire burning, food been had and then settling down for a dram. In my ignorance, I was expecting a really smooth drink and took a mouthful.....it was the first time I'd ever been mugged by a drink!! I couldn't speak!! We didn't pour it down the sink though....

On a bright day, we decided to do the distillery tour and at the end I tried to buy more - the lass in the shop said they weren't allowed to sell it there as it all went to Gordon & MacPhail in Elgin.
