That snap on is a bargain on its own.

That is a thing of beauty Clive, it's great to see someone taking this degree of care and dedication, every detail done just right. You are clearly someone who takes pride in what they do, I hope they at least bring you a sense of satisfaction at a job very well done

Had a day off work to blank out the packing crates. There’s bleeding money, I think I’m gonna exsanguinate on this

Isn't it freeing cutting gods finest materials.

I have a good few rather raw cuts from last couple of days cutting osb

I hate making packing cases, I'm hopeless at it and it wastes time for nothing as you can't charge properly for the eternity of banging your head against a wall and everything getting covered in sawdust.

I wish will would crack out the shafts!
Actually having him join the scraping class was a blessing as I was getting quotes for more than the whole machine! I was in bother with my grinder in bits

They are a credit to you.

 

[Martin Hocking]

Absolute class…
There’s something about the mismatched texture of osb that really evokes emotion.

The wheels are pretty good too.

Have you thought about making an upper and lower wheel bits kit , and let folk make their own frame ,,,

No, there’s plenty of kits on eBay
