I was suspect of the copper plate on the bottom.

It should look like this.



I wonder if a Pussesr right angle will fit.

Today i acquired for nowt a Stanley 112 scraper plane, covered in filth & rust. Half an hour with wd40 & 400 wet & dry followed by a grey scotchbrite pad it is looking very smart. Good usable tool & aparently quite rare.

Nice acquisition ! A very rare plane indeed. I paid over a hundred dollars for mine, and that was back in the early 1980's , here's a photo.

I know . Guess that's why I have no one worthy to leave it all to in my will.

I was working out in the garage and had a snack size delivery of onion bhajis from my neighbour.

I got this the other day, why?
I knew we had a family member who served on board her.

We knew that from tracing our family tree. We knew he was landed in September 1940. But we did not know why.

Thanks to google and The Royal British Legion his war record is being received from the records. I am having sent to me so I can add it to our history.

Today, I acquired enough ex pallet wood (pre dismantled), to build my first decent project in ages.

When we got our new front door, I left the hubby to organise everything. Consequently, we have a cat flap sized hole in the front door, which was cut too high for our now elderly cat to cope with a ‘real’ cat flap.

The plan is to close off this hole, and build a tarty step way to the cat flap fitted to the bedroom window (don’t ask). I’ve added my high tech hand drawn plans below.

Carry on with sketches and drawings like that and I could award you a National 5 in Graphic Communication!

There is a cat ladder up to a first floor window that I see when waiting at a local set of traffic lights, same idea as yours but each step appears to be bracketed to the wall, an elegant solution if you live in a first floor flat and have an outdoor cat.

You should have seen the first 1/2 dozen drawings.

Aah, no; they'd be 'initial ideas' or 'thumbnail sketches', see - and they're part of the process!
