Obviously we nearly shat ourselves laughing.

Over the weekend I walked from Padstow to Fowey with a couple of mates, it’s about 30 miles and a great route. We stopped at a pub toward the end of the second day and my mate was drying his dog with a towel, a really posh older lady in her wet walking gear said “if I bend over will you do me”.

Dry fit. It was snug. Managed to smash myself in the face with a lump of oak trying to pull it apart.

Next time I’m up there I’ll bring it with me and we’ll have a tinker, cut a cock n’ balls out of ply or something to show you it in action!

Well spotted, yeah it’s very good, had it a while now. Any surfboard application to be had?

More of these to do this morning, plus the receiving mortices. Hoping to do a dry fit before lunch.

It was either Workshop Heaven or, ashamedly, Amazon.

Do I register cutetools dot com?

I walked to the workshop today purely because I didn’t have enough petrol in the car, took me 30 mins, through lovely country lanes and wooded areas whilst listening to Matthew Halsall’s “Fletcher Moss Park”. What a way to start the day, I should do it more often.

I’ve been working all weekend. Good stuff though, oak and tenons on the origin. Here is my workbench to prove it.
