I worked with a chap who was borderline manic depressive and was invited to a consultation with the Bank's psychologist [who knew they engaged/needed the services of one? ]. The professional advice amounted to three words "Activity alleviates anxiety" - in other words.....do something. The idea being, I suppose, the 'doing' distracts from problems at the forefront of the conscience mind?

But what do I know......?

Nothing major but I saw this and had to have it.

I got this one a few week ago, I have always loved die cast cars, I used to have a marina death trap so this one reminded me of it..

I like how there's better quality metal in the toy cars.

I was given this today
12-inch face solid bronze case
The face needs a proper cleaning job as the glass is missing
It will make a super clock
Any ideas on getting some glass cut into a circle

 

[Hood]

Any (real) glazier should be able to cut the glass for you.

Hi , A long time back I made a clock for our mess from a 10 inch steam gauge "recovered" from a whale catcher "Petrel" which had founded alongside the jetty in Grytviken South Georgia, the mast was laying across the jetty and the "crows nest " was quite literally a barrel with the bottom cut out and a board for a seat, it had carved graffiti with names and whale sightings etc, interesting times, as said any good glazier will easily cut a circle,

I did bit of work down that area but never managed to get to gritviken, a friend of mine went a few times and says that the whaleing station is now out of bounds off due to asbestos

Today I bought installment No. 14 of 2000 AD's "The Ultimate Collection" http://www.2000adcollection.com/

I remember when the comic first hit the shelves 40 years ago and I'd been on the lookout for some time for a way to collect all the classic stories in a convenient format so when this collection was launched I grabbed the first installment and haven't missed an issue since. Only 64 more issues to go !

That's going to add to quite a total by the time you reach the last edition.

seconded, also what about clear polycarbonate?

Yes, Indeed. Each installment is 14 euros here in Ireland so by the time I get the last one I'll have spent 1100+ on it

Well, it's obviously worth it to you.
