Wembley Arena with Hawkwind and someone else? Arthur Brown popped on stage and Lemmy did Silver Machine IIRC

I was worried that the rock like richlite had finished you off. I was getting out the torches and sharpening the pitchfork before rounding up the mob to go and find Fleabag

Dulux have a range of pigmented wood coating... Stunning bit of wood there, could you use something like chopping board oil? Sorry, just remembered you wanted to lacquer it afterwards. Or not lacquer just oil it occasionally?

Go on go on go on go on go on. Doooooooo IT!

Therapy? on the 6th of May, Grünspan in Hamburg. I may have a ticket going if there's any interest.

Pear shaped?

Matt Estlea's rather amusing take on river tables.

You lie. Possibly not, but none of them are worth the effort.

Like wot Mondieu sed, Frank told us to come and say hello. Excessive use of menaces is wot it is, he's a bully in here I tells ee. Welcome to the madhouse.

Sort of a traditional/common thing here. Quite a lot of people have them outside their doors. Either Moin or the family name.

My first bit of carving, and also first mortise and tenon, but you can't see that

I understand that the manufacturers deliberately don't have it run on truly random as it can play a bunch of songs by the same artist in sequence, which the consumer then perceives as not being random.

The main reason given for not going too deep is that you can put things at the back without leaning over much. Of course, if you have the physique of an Orangutan that may not be much of a consideration.

Thinking further, I'd go the length of an average bass, P seems about as average as you can get, add 500mm to it and use that. Width, 600 seems still reasonable.

Go Fukkking Massive Actually, you can't really make a bench too long, but you can make it too wide. Check out Rex Kruger on YT, one video about four common mistakes made when building your first bench and one about building an English Joiners bench. I'm going to build one of his in the new year, it's going to be 1500mm long, 600 deep and about 850 tall. For context my current bench is 2m x 1m and I'm only using a square about 600 x 700 to work on. The rest has become stuff storage.

So do I. I wanted it to be as invisible as possible. Looks great shut, needs a bit of thinking for the look once the lid is off. Happy Christmas to you too.

Box no.2, mahogany and oak, BLO with wax. I'm not convinced with how I left the end where the lid fits in, I should have cut the top frame rail in half so the end panel is finished rather than flapping in the breeze, but that would have bu$$ered up the proportions. Yes it looks like another table tomb.

I wouldn't trust Ricky's opinion, the colour blind fukkwit.

It's 100 x 200. The lid thickness makes it about 110 mm tall.

Little wooden box, mahogany and ash. Yes, it does look like a table tomb, but that really is a coincidence.

I bought some 40 x 200 x 3000 from the DIY shed a couple of weeks ago. It felt nice and light and I bought the flattest ones I could find. They've all cupped to a greater or lesser extent. Poxy things.

What happens if you get a seasoned bit of wood and leave it outside again? Does it unseason at the rate of 25mm per year? Just thinking "aloud" about the process really.

Exactly. He wrote it about stalking his ex wife!
