'Allo folks!
Summer's over, kind of. Ups and downs. Let's get the bad first: workshop relining (aka plumbing renovation) is STILL not done. 2 months late now. Been blocked from accessing like 90% of my gear, tools and workspaces for ages no...

'Allo folks - may is upon (and mostly past) us, so here's a post!
I'm pretty frustrated. Building relining project is dragging over by a few weeks, so the workshop is still blocked. I've considered whether I could still pull the cast off the...

Heyo folks, and 'good continuation' as we say over here! A bit later of a post than I'd hoped, buuuut c'est la vie when you catch one of the seasonal illnesses. Dunno' which one it was, so let's just call it the flu. Otherwise things have been pre...

'Allo folks - another month, another update!
I'll be blunt and say that it's been a slow month workshop-wise. First half of November was angsting and working on the whole day-job liability exit thing, then once that completed successfully on...

Bonjour folks! Another month, another set of progress. I've had most of June off from the day job, and will have a pretty relaxed work pace during July. Suit rig is getting a lot of focus, so let's jump straight to it.
'Allo folks - another month, another update!
This has been one of those months where I felt not much had happened... until I looked at the pics and what I'd actually gotten done. Turns out I'd done a lot, and it was just non-glamorous stuff ...
