Does he really make anything in that neat shop? I seem to recall a Carbatec bag with woodchips spilling out of it in one of his pictures!!
I'm sure he buys the wood dust
Happy holiday Derek

think its time for some of you to let go of your TOOLS for a while, and take the misses out for dinner somewhere.
That way way you get to play with your TOOLS a bit more !

Lawns? I'm a green concrete man myself.
Getting nagged about being in the shed? Hey, my daughter knows where to find me and it gets the dog out of the house.
Sharp tools? What are they? I spend hours stuffing around with the darned things - scary sharp and stones - great satisfaction to be had in mucking about for hours and achieving a less dangerous level of blunt. Grrrr. And I've got a mate who, in about two seconds, puts a wicked edge on his blades using no guide and a cheap oil stone. And it's NOT because he knows what he's doing - I keep trying to steer him clear of understanding what he's trying to do in case he loses the ability.
Cheers

I can spend hours fiddling around with bits and pieces in the shed without actually doing anything which the rest of the (ignorant) world would call useful. If ever I had the money I would probably build a bigger shed and fill it with stuff for which I have need need and spend even longer fiddling with it. My wife knows better than to ask what I was doing in the shed. She just lives in the hope that a few times each year something other than noise comes out of it.

Surely Derek makes furniture primarily to convince himself that his planes are perfectly tuned, and the teeth of his dovetail saws are perfectly set. Mind you, they always are, and the resultant furniture looks pretty good, even though he deliberately makes it from pine to give himself a challenge

First thing I did when I got home from work on New Years Eve was to instal one of the new wall cupboards in the kitchen then straight down to THE BOAT. I knew when SWMBO got home because the dog was barking and I could hear her mumbling something along the line of "the *#@^**'s working on the bloody boat again". Well after she had been to the kitchen, guess who was as nice as pie

No, you can even fettle without taking your glasses off!
