Glad you're still with us Buddy!
Make the most of this time to catch up on your favourite YouTube channels, but whatever you end up doing, do it slowly! Steady wins the race!

Good luck on the recovery mate. My old man was done about 6 months ago and he's recovering really well, just take it easy and follow their advice. The legs and sleeping on his back were the worst for him. All the best.

So today I got this out the box. It's only been in the box (and getting in my way) since christmas! 
It actually takes up quite a bit less room out the box. Titan planner thicknesser. Only time for a quick play in planner mode but it seems to work pretty well. Bit of a pain that you have to move the chip extractor to go between planner and thicknesser but I think I'm going to be able to put it to good use.
The lump of wood behind it is a bit of Jarra wood I lopped off the end of a sleeper I got a while ago. The bandsaw wasn't having a lot of fun ripping that down!

@spencer 427 I see you have given up on using a mug for scale and are now using farm machinery for scale.

Definitely. If I can climb to the topAs always.....nothing by half!
That looks tidy, i have 4 1/2 (don’t ask about the 1/2). Just about to get one back out of the workshop following a quick resto that has taken 6 years with other jobs in-between!
Got to change the gearbox on my traveller next then hoping to start my Zetec powered project car based a 1959 2 door.
They are great to work on, get yourself a decent set of whitworth sockets & spanners and you will be good to go!

A replacement for my old three speed Ryobi drill kindly donated by @Dogruffracing.
I forgot how heavy they were compared to the newer ones.

A push bike!
No real clue about them, alooominum frame so nice and light, suspension (comfort not speed) and a good price. Its had a few bits like new pedals and a few cables. I've got a seat on order too.
Only bike I've had with disc brakes, they seem poor compared to the V brakes on a bike I was given but they might adjust, not even looked really

A few nice items arrived here for Me!!!!!!
Yes, just Me.
A few batteries and one PP7 to PP3 adapter.
First use of one was to give a decent battery to a WW2 American Signal lamp.
The bulb is the original, as far as I can tell by the marking on it.
Finaly. after a few false starts.
Not the supplier fault, but a manufacturing fault. A V belt for my pump.
The motor stand needs a bit of adjustments, but as it stands it works.
