    If you do buy something from Hardly Normal,(or anywhere else, for that matter) Don't forget to take the "Made in China" label off!

    Tell her that if she puts the frying pan on the hot plate and fries you up some bacon, then you will consider making her something. That seems fair - she makes you something and then you make her something.

    Put your running shoes on first, though. And pack a bag.

    I do that, if I'm asked for something it goes near the top of the to-do list. Amazing how easy it is to get more tools if she is happy.

    Upon consideration of your good advice, I have the answer

    I'll go home tonight, straight to the shed
    Cut one of the slabs on the TABLE SAW
    Run it over the JOINTER
    Through the THICKNESSER
    Put a pretty edge on it with the ROUTER
    Then put in the middle of lounge room floor

    When she asks "What is it? I will reply
    It will be a coffee table when I get a BANDSAW

    Anybody got a room to rent for a few days
    Cheers,

    Well it's high time Mrs HDT got a life, or a hobby to fill some of it! Take her down the shop and buy her a whole pile of that scrapbooking stuff, you know, bits of coloured paper, scissors, beads'n'stuff and a giant pot of glue ... sit her in the corner to do her thing so she leaves you alone to do yours! (you could be down the shed producing wooden boxes to store the stuff she makes, coz it sure as heck won't see the light of day once made ... get the idea I hate the garbage? ) Can't believe I'm sticking up for a bloke ... but woodies defend woodies, right?

    Which leads me to Col's Code of Practice? Where's the bit that protects MY shed space from any BLOKE that wants to come wandering in? It's sexist!!

    Cheers

    No. Everyone needs a bandsaw. Preferably one of mine.
