plantfit 7,580 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Around here somewhere is a sort of "retired mens club" where a group of blokes get together and do woodwork and stuff, it keeps the little grey cells ticking over ( As Hercule Poirot would say)do you have anything like that near you? the clubs seem fairly popular around the midlands Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Nothing like that in our village. The people are too stuffy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,580 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Same in this village Phil, in fact when I deliver the local villages monthly magazine some of them can't work out why I do it for nothing, I tell them where I was bought up it was standard practice to do things for your community and not ask for payment, that usually shuts them up Rog 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still I’ve got my own pair of sheds with all the kit I could possibly need without having to mix with a bunch of old farts! takes one to know one Phil - me included. I have a workshop for metal and a wood work shed. Trouble is they get mixed up and a lot of tools are duplicated. Must have at least 30 screwdrivers littered about the place. My favorite shed is the man coup. An extension to the chicken coup where I cvan have sensible conversations with the chooks while drinking cider Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 I’m not a serious woodworker. I just knock bits together as necessary. My workshop is primarily engineering based for maintaining my myriads of horticultural equipment. I have a lathe, power saw, pillar drills, mig welder, compressor and all sorts of sundry kit. I don’t have a miller but rarely need one. At one time my son wanted to take an engineering degree but became a lawyer instead! He too now has a comprehensive engineering workshop in his garage.

Rotating stem for next doors wind ornament, it keeps unscrewing itself when the wind changes direction so the baseplate will stop that, also going to put a couple of ball bearings inside the joining surfaces to create a bearing effect on the two rotating tubes instead of it being metal to metal Rog This thing, contra rotating blades and the whole lot supposed to turn in the wind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
