really nice.
in case, that you notice, that your door looks “naked” :
do you have choclate “goldcoins” down-over?
the alu-foil makes the plates of the hinges and around the doorhandle.
for hinges two very short coppercables for the doorknob ask your wife for a tailor’s pin.
Thanks for the advice, David.
I always am in fear of glue glopping out.
As I am using more fixatives, I’m starting to believe manufactures rigid glue testing protocols include how well the adhesive sticks only to toothpick applicator, how fast it can solidify in a syringe, and how many people end up with their hand stuck in the 
ok position.
It’s looking fantastic, Bill!!
you forgot the glue drying in the tube part of the bottle rendering it useless
You may be right, and I suspect, like Vegemite, you might have to grow up with it to appreciate it fully. Both apparently can be stored for years but Vegemite can be stored open for years. (I’m not advertising it well, am I?)
Now that we have a Costco, I tried making Herself a spam breakfast. For the life of me, I can’t convince Herself to embrace the Hawaiian delicacy.
Maybe I need to take the sushi approach or sneak it on to a pizza with pineapple? I don’t know, she’s more than happy to put the tofudabeest at risk of extinction, but not the spamalope.
As far as I can determine, Spam’s more a British thing, and therefore perhaps more Aussie than one might think?
Korm,
No pins were the right size. The closest size Herself had in the sewing collection was the scale size of a rockmelon. Luckily, I had some hardware that I bought when I thought “one day I’ll be a modeller”.
Yesterday’s exercise was to to take some ancient reclaimed cedar floorboards and make some more planks. Those boards were at the extreme limit of my table saw’s ability.
The aroma was still there decades later. But, Id love to be able to find new redwood and cedar in the hardware store rather than pine.
Today’s task is to run them through the thicknesser.
And in the Mik Spirit, I will be gluing all these together with…
Wait for it…
David…
Cliff, your logic is impeccable…
But remember Britain is where the criminals came from.
There’s also a kangaroo ale here.
It’s mostly hops.
I like the red doors and windows.
That almost hurt… 
Thanks Todd,
It’s a vibrant shade I hadn’t see before this years Mik.
It’s called Scarlet Sinsley.
I didn’t spill any but I hear or cleans up well with paper towels.
I’ve heard rumors that once that color starts flowing, it’s quite difficult to stop and may require a professional’s attention 
Hello influencers
One just arrived in the post the other had been sitting in Herself’s collection.
Onward!
Did this back to front.
I should have sanded the boards before putting a line on them and ripping the planks. Well, live and learn…
Bottom picture post are all the planks taped together after going through the thickness planer.
PS. Sometimes it’s the little things that count. The top photo…
Every time I hook up the vacuum reminds me of the joy of my first successful practical design and 3D print of a this right angle hose connector on my thickness sander.
I’m still in awe of the complicated stuff you folks make.
Baby steps…
Arterial or venous?
If the latter, venial or mortal?
[edit to say I think I got my venals mixed up, sorry]
venous is blueish 
only if out of nobility… 
for my eyes arterial reminds of bloody mary - venous reminds of dried catchup.
Arterial can be sprayed on. Venous is best applied with a paper towel, or so I’m told… muahaha
I’m thinking Hollywood is just the shorter version of Doc Hollywood? 
That’s what I’ve observed, fwiw… But, shades of red and all that. Hence the question to Bill, re “scarlet.”
Need photos from Devon I guess…
