Maybe it’s as a result of the appreciation of the work the shaper puts out?Have you ever used the shaper though?

It’s 2 part epoxy paint bought directly from the manufacturer, company called paints4trade, it’s resisted chemicals very well, but has a few scratches now during installation of the lift posts.Indeed, not too shabby
Can I ask what is on the floor?

Not today,
but last week:
My right to drive vehicles of the largest categories on public roads also during the next five years.
In the beginning it was easy:
It started with Mopeds and Mofas, which were free then.
At the age of 18 I made the driving licenses class 3 for cars up to and including 7,49t and class 1 for motorcycles without limitation,
at the age of 21 I made "the big one" class 2 for trucks without any limitation.
Then came the driving school lobby (their party got into a governing coalition) and now we have this multitude of classes, all of which of course have to be completed and paid for ... if you didn't already have the relevant licenses at that point in time.
Then sometime in the 2000s came the regulation that from the age of 50 all truck driving licenses lose their validity after five years.
If you don't care anymore (or are already dead) you don't have to do anything, but if you want to keep your big license you need a medical and an ophthalmological certificate about passed examinations according to exactly defined criteria.
For me, this meant handing in my old indefinite paper driver's license for the first time in 2008 and receiving a check card after passing the medical exams:
Cost 2023:
€ 90,00 ophthalmologist
€ 50,00 doctor
€ 05,10 application fee at the city hall
€ 60,80 fee of the county office and the national printing office including express fees (but then ready for collection within three days!)
Since I do not earn money directly with it, my private pleasure.
---
But I can also cheap:
Old workbench € 10.00 - my question "what becomes of the vice?" Answer "that belongs to it".
I was there very quickly!
I do not have to mention that Leinen vises are among the very sought after.
And the wood start to come out nice after some oiling.
When I was there I found it decent to also buy some of the existing tools - at much more realistic prices, of course.

Two more of these for the solar PV
I had 2.4kWh, I will have 7.2kWh as soon as I get around to fitting them.
Today the solar produced just about 30kWh, of which about 15kWh was exported, but I also consumed 5kWh from the grid. These and the Eddie Solar diverter that goes in next week should stop the export and minimise the import.
Edit - they're lithium batteries

Four three metre length of 44 mm bath waste water solvent weld pipe , band saw cut to 98 mm then turned on one end using my home made expander between centre points , Once all 123 tubes are faced at one end I'll cut them to 93 mm in length and polish the cut edges to get them finger friendly .
Happily it's forecaste to be a real wet rainy day tomorrow so being in the heated man cupboards finishing the tubes will suit me down to the ground .
