I liked except for the lights Bleeding farmers around here working at night and close to roads need to adjust their work lights properly

Last night, right alongside the road, looks better to the camera than it does to a humans eyes..

Rear camera view after I passed, you can see his lights are even lighting up the opposite side of the road which I am on.

No need for that at all.

Having said that, todays job is a Kelsa type bar for a JD! Looks like some hillbilly ramraided truckfest!

These pics show how much light he was throwing onto the road.
Front mudguard (lower right of pic) illuminated as I approach.

As I get alongside no longer lit.

Not far away we have a golf course that flood lights it's driving range. It casts a similar bright light across the road, and as the nights draw in in years past it made it impossible to do my sheep lookering as I was always looking into the bally bright light. Couldn't count the animals never mind spot lame ones. All for a few spoilt city types to wack an innocent ball about before retiring to the 19th hole. !

Light pollution. Won't the local council deal with it?
Then of course there are other ways..

Some brackets for my brother that just turned up unannounced, I was on my way to church so had to skip that

Had to dig deep into the curing rack for these

A holder for the 12V throatless shear. It has to stand upright, else some grease/oil creeps out the gearbox. It can't get knocked over now.

That height gauge I made for mapping the floor under the old removed bath worked well,for levelling it up adding three more tapered layers of floor tile cement to get the drainage gradient to the wet room floor drain was difficult, but nowhere as difficult as tiling away from your knees to the left & right as well till the tiles reached the farthest wall ( where the original tilers started off from so tiled towards their knees a row at a time).

This box of bits, was put together today.

The instructions werew not very clear.
It took a few tries to understand.

But it was fun.

I couldn't find a rolling pin I liked, for a price I liked, so... £13 in Been&Queued and two hours later, I've got a set of 3 made to my exacting specifications.



35mm diameter, I've got an 8, 16 and 24", plus 4 feet spare to make another set.

Not sure how to finish them, do Osmo make a food safe oil?

B&q Pine? Shouldnt they be hardwood to be able to hit things with...

Rolling pins usually unfinished, I think.

Normaly Beech as well.,

Danish oil, if you're planning on treating them.

I went through my stock of round bar and considered 30mm stainless, that would do for hitting things. I also briefly considered Tufnol but ultimately there's better uses for such posh material.

Pine isn't ideal but it's cheap. I've wanted a really long one a few times, and also thought a short one could be handy, this way I can play with them for a few months, see what work and and make some from a more expensive hardwood if I feel the need.

We are still talking of rolling pins?

When I liked woodturning shenanigans I made up a homebrew food safe wax , Heated up some olive oil then mixed with a bit of beeswax to melt in and dry.

To be honest if your really simple just some cheap veg oil rub it in as food safe as it gets.

Made Irish Soda bread. I also eat home made Irish Soda bread.

I'd expect them to dry out and crack, not ideal for working with food?
