Could be where I got the D&D, the Airfix came from WH Smiths near the harbour.

I know it well... I passed out in there from sunstroke and was given a free Airfix kit by the manager...

He's quite safe, as I don't control that bit. They are however, digging up that line for the next three weeks, so the dreaded words 'Bus Replacement Service' are abroad in the land...

That Sir, is a foul, unwarranted attack on my honour, integrity, person and professionalism!



















It was tartan.

and 30+ jungle bases cut, chamfered, and pegged for plants.. now just have to source some gravel. I was thinking fish tank supplies, but they look too small... might have to go see if the local hardware place sells gravel by the kilo... I miss Bunnings.

We really need more chamfering talk on this forum. It adds a currently lacking touch of class

Chamfering is just the thin edge of the wedge.. oops.

I have inherited the toolshed, so if I knew what I was doing I could be tapping, routing, lathing and all sorts... I just need to get my own shed re-roofed and some better shelving put in, and I will start moving in all the heavyweight bits of kit like band saws. workbenches and so on.

For gravel I usually saunter into the nearest building site and nick some. Tip: hard hat, yellow vest and clipboard are your friends here.

B&Q or Homebase does various grades of building sand. Other hardware stores are available.

If it is a British worked site, just wander in after 1pm, no chance of a worker then.

If its EU nationals, 24hr worked.
