Ah, so. That was one hell of a night out, wasn't it

Steve, is the template the same dragon you have tattooed across your chest?

A gentler bit of air can be had with one of those photographers' blowers.

Good luck, John.

Stay well, mate.

God bless, Adam.

I wish us all good health. Take care, mate.

As well know, a LOT of us are likely to get this thing. Apparently, vitamin D is great for the immune system (which of course is vital to fending off infections etc) I have been taking large amounts of vit D supplements for a few weeks, and get out into the sunshine (a great source) whenever I can.....

"Time Vampires" Might have to borrow that!

All sorted.

Cheers.

Hi all, Having had a look-a-like Dremel for years (and it's pretty rubbish), I'd like to invest in a genuine one made by Dremel. Anyone got any advice/pointers, as Dremel seem to make a fair few, including a cordless version. Does the cordless have enough welly...and what accessories are must-haves ...

Good on you, John.

Happy welcome, Corinna

I'm sure someone will be able to help with that query - some great framing knowledge on here, as I'm sure you've seen.

Thank you for all that time teaching....I'm sorry you had to get out, but I totally understand why you did.

See you around the boards,

Paul

Great to hear, Mark.

Good on you, Peter

I hope you enjoy it for many years, Mark (if 'enjoy' is the right word! )

Indeed, Peter . I'm very grateful that John didn't make this forum 'Northern Irish only'.

If it's going in a car, put the heavy end (top) nearest to where you'll get it out of the car. Also, it's a great help to have a sheet of 18mm MDF or similar already in the back of the car to lay it on, as it'll slide in and out more easily on it. If you take offcuts of something like 3x2, you can s...

Well said, Jon

Mark was also kind enough to advise me on my choice of used Morso.

He's a really top bloke - and a credit to this industry.

Or how about a Rod Stewart cover version: The First Keencut is the Deepest.

Thanks Peter - and everyone else for your take on this. I really appreciate it

Thanks as always, Mark & Steve. Plenty of stuff to chew on there. :clap: Everywhere you look, it seems to be "D rings a third of the way down" etc. Great to have your real world solutions & tips. BTW, Steve I see you put the D rings on at an angle. I've never seen that before....an...

Thanks for the encouragement, Mark. I'll be the first to say none of this comes naturally to me: I'm not at all artistic, and find the craft skills quite hard to master...hence my realistic view of how far I can take this. However, people seem pleased with my choices and efforts - and I do enjoy it ...

The Underpinners? Sounds like a rubbish 60s Merseybeat-style combo.....count me in. We'll have to get an old Beatles gig poster, and forge our group's name low down on the bill. I wonder what our minor hit was called: 'Needles & Pins'....'A Dedicated Follower of Conservation (techniques)'....'Ri...
