Well I have no pictures of evidence right now but I got a 4 foot long tool and a fancy expensive bolt with the last inch machined off in a lathe which cost a lot, all to remove the crank pulley on a 964, I’ll be putting it to good use in the new year
A mini lathe would be a handy tool……But not happening this year

I use my credit card for literally everything I buy, except one little cafe that gets killed on credit card costs, so I specifically carry cash for when I go there.
Which is 3 lunchtimes a week.... my only social life...sadly....
Credit cards are free loans, and protected against scams, as it's the banks money you're using. I pay mine off every few days, so it doesn't build up into a huge sum.
I just wish savings accrued as quickly as credit card bills seem to do. Chuck a few quid on your card, and you owe £300 by the weekend. Chuck a few quid into your savings account and you have £12 saved by the weekend.

I only use mine for anything I buy online, just pay mine off in full every month, a credit card is a useful tool, but like all tools needs to be used sensibly or it becomes shall we say very expensive money.I use my credit card for literally everything I buy, except one little cafe that gets killed on credit card costs, so I specifically carry cash for when I go there.

I try to use cash when shopping at independent type business as I know the chargers hurt them, at Christmas we buy our grown up kids a gift and I give them a brown envelope with money in, the brown envelope been an old family tradition. 2 out of 3 of them gave me the cash back and asked me to transfer it to them.
Oh Im going to learn to fly, Mrs booked me some lessons to see if I like it. And today I plan to wear a new pair of hole free socks, and eat all the sweets I got!

That's lovely! Your design?
Then what material, thickness, finish etc?
Just interested is all. Is it a wall decoration or a "pan stand", surface protector thing?

Thanks. I bought the design. Chose it very carefully. This one is in 2mm and finished in stove paint because that's what I had. It could be done in 1mm for decoration, or have some Cork pads added for a pot trivet/pan stand and powder coated. I hadn't really thought beyond making something nice for my wife!

Could have used it last weekend (drilled out sheared bolt, retapped D-bush mount for Crusty Honda's rear anti-roll bar, short tap wrench could only turn 45 degrees at a time because a bloody car's in the way, so slacken off, pull wrench off, push back on turned a bit and tighten up, rinse and repeat what seemed like 1000 times...) so when my dear old mum asked what I'd like for Xmas...
