Some free sawdust for bedding delivered by Pete who owns the local woodyard. Had the JCB been functional we'd have just tipped a load but Pete bagged it up for us. What a gentleman.

Yeah I explained that, I said it would perhaps be best to bronze weld the joints to give an amount of 'give' but they said it would alter the dynamics of the chassis...., ok boss.

I am with you on that,braze

I decided to assign my old Makita router to permanent duty in my router table. I do a fair amount of routing for our 'old house' project, and I was getting tired of the disassembly and reassembly time whenever I had to remove the router from the router table for hand-held work and then reinstall it in the router table. So a couple of days ago I ordered a new Bosch 2.25-hp router with a plunge base attachment and an adjustable edge guide attachment. It has both 1/4- and 1/2-inch collets. It arrived yesterday, and today I put it through its paces making several pieces of baseboard moulding (you can see a couple of pieces in the foreground). It works great, and I just ordered a kit with a couple of additional dust extraction attachments.

The compact welding helmet was much needed, but yesterday. A month has passed since the order, and the dealer brought it from the USA. Will come in handy tomorrow. Need to test. For some reason, Muller felt that the filter's fade level of #10 was an extra button. From level 9, jump straight to level 11.

Not expected. Shade level #9 - too bright, level #11, too bright, level #13, still bright. But the blue filter is more transparent than the filter on the 3M XXL weld mask. Probably, you need to get used to what you can see better.

Fair exchange is no robbery.

I hope the sender enjoys what they got.

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones with more meaning.

As some of you know I have a Lil human I look after when her mum works to bring in some more funds for the two of them.
I do it for no reward as lil human is a joy to look after. Plus fun.
Funds in the house are not tight, but are limited.
Last Sunday, right before I went away for a few days I had to fix Lil human bike.
We had to get parts, not an issue.

Today lil human spent her pocket money on me.
