It is hard to work with but a very nice wood to use unless you get someone ask you to make a small oak stick which was in my opinion was for adult games, my inner teenage brain kept snigering as he showed me the designFinally got the worktop cut and mounted and the sink and tap fitted and working.

Is that a china sink or an enamel on steel one, the reason I ask, I am soon going to have to cut into an existing worktop to replace a moulded in one & if china it would be ideal.Finally got the worktop cut and mounted and the sink and tap fitted and working.

It's ceramic and bloody heavy!
The knockout for the tap has to be done with a hammer and punch, I kid you not!!! It's got a knockout both sides for left or right hand mounting. Most **** clenching moments doing that I can tell you as the other one on the kitchen chipped some of the glaze off behind the tap
If you get one similar see if you can find one that's already done!
I wouldn't recommend this make as the first two that arrived were damaged.
Edit:
Before you order make sure the new one is the same size or bigger that the hole you already have! This particular sink seems very large underneath and needed a fair bit of carcass cutting out to fit .

Today I've checked a grass cutter
Patient: Einhell GC-BC-43-AS
Symptoms :starts work well till starts ejecting fuel from the carburettor towards the air filter .
I reckonize the cylinder and the piston to be completely burnt and covered by carbon deposit .
Diagnosis: blow by
Surely worn segments , probably deformed cylinder bore
I'm waiting to know how much for the parts .

Lots of work to get here today.
Unfortunately I had to make the staircase narrower due to previous bodges so a bit of head scratching to get the cuts right

Na. I can't compete on price with the likes of stairbox unfortunately.
Easier to get it built. Well in kit form here

Haven’t really made anything apart from putting an edge on the small blade. The blade got the initial heat treatment two days ago, it got the second yesterday. Wife was cooking a chicken so the blade got put in also! Was in at 180 degrees whilst the chicken cooked then the oven was maxed out for a couple of hours. Left the blade in overnight to cool. It cleaned up pretty easily, no polishing gear yet, another parcel floating about a Parcelforce warehouse. Anyhoo, miserable day here so needed something to do. Decided to sharpen the blade. Sons wanting it, so thought I’d put a more robust edge on this one. Took a while but I got there. It’ll take hair and the first layer of skin off easily. A small part of my hand is as smooth as a babies bottom!
