When I was in hospital getting my hand stitched up there was a farmer type who fell across one of those and opened his belly up

Yes I doubt they meet many health and safety guidelines. I've been using it for an hour this evening and surprisingly still got all fingers and thumbs.When I was in hospital getting my hand stitched up there was a farmer type who fell across one of those and opened his belly up

Today i "acquired" 2 job offers.
One is permanent, the other is a 6-week placement on Cornwall with accomodation included.
I got the permanent offer first, by about half an hour. If it was the other way round i could've done the 6 weeks then started the other, but knowing my luck that wouldn't've worked out. Accepted the permanent one. (RAC)
Should start on the 9th of August.

Hope the new job turns out well !

Was using one of them when I was a small kid. I’ve all my digits too. We also had a belt drive one running off an old car. That’s proper hillbilly

It's a running joke in our family. My father ran a forestry business in the 1970s and he lost three finger tips in three separate accidents my cousin (who worked for him) lost three toes. I used to help weekends and school holidays using a big 70cc jonsereds chainsaw cutting firewood in the yard.Never joke about things like amputation....

I got a (hopefully) better film / slide scanner from the local freecycle site. My old one is a Maplin one, and I've been quite disappointed with the quality of some of the scans, and a bit worried about whether I'd wrongly remembered the quality of photos that I've taken back in the day. Having found some prints that I'd made from negatives before I could scan then, it seems that it's not the fault of the negative, so hopefully this new Konica Minolta scanner might do a better job. Only works on XP, apparently, though I might have found a web site that tells me how to make it work in W10.

As we all know you can't have enough tools, especially when they are from the Lord of the screw thread!
These arrive today from a chap I met through another Forum (Yes I know, I didn't realise there were other forums either!).
Well packaged too!

Went to a machinery emporium today to pick up some milling cutters, and came home with a 10 inch rotary table - you know how it is. £40, what was I supposed to do!
The handle is a bit home made and the rotation is fairly stiff - the bloke said I would need to strip it down and give it some tlc, not sure where to start with the disassembly though. For now I've put some oil into the oilers and given it a few turns, and it seems to rotate fine but like I said, a bit stiff. No name on it or anything which is a bit odd.

Wow. Top bombing. Well, now it's got your name on it...
Just keep unscrewing things until it falls apart.
Take copious notes!

I'm always glad if it's a bit stiff nowadays... Fnarr.
Soak it in diesel, then dismantle it.

Got to excuse my sense of humour....
