Crikey blimey, I might be normal after all.
Nobody has mentioned the essential case of breakfast beer, you know the 2.8% stuff from Tescos or where ever. :beer:

John Rudd:
Another plus 1....
I have several projects on the go and sometimes just become depressed to the point where I cant do anything.......... :palm:

Sometimes I end up going in just to clean up, with a nice chilled beverage...

Sadly tho' this week has been worsened by the demise of my best friend's wife, she died of cancer.....Its been difficult but now the funeral has taken place and I've spent time away with family things should get better...

I'm wishing I was in the toy room right now as I type..wanting to crack on...

My wife is always telling me...'if you're not in the mood ....dont do it...you'll only make a mess of it' How right she is..

Last week the battery in my best Mitutoyo caliper died, so I ordered a new one. When it came I couldn't find the caliper. Looked for a week in every drawer in the shop, house, etc., 4 times, cabinet, even in my vanity drawer. Finally, gave up. Boy was I pissed. So I put on my apron anyway to go to work and guess what, it was in the top pocket.

You were off whole week and were wearing the apron all the time? :lol:

I found my traditional SOMET caliper from glove compartment of her car, while I was trying to locate a spare light bulb. Wonder why I put there and why?

Re. Things "happening", in the shop.....

Where's the firebrick, which I use as a base when soldering?  :scratch:
The two verticals are there, plus all my soldering equipment. The base brick has disappeared! It's about 10" x 8" by 1"thick.  :scratch:


This afternoon, I needed to mill a 5/8" slot across the end of a 30mm bar. The r/t held it too high for rigidity.
Been intending to buy a Keats angle plate. But. You know.....   :doh:

Found this Moore & Wright V block, under the bench.......




Not the faintest idea where it's come from! Don't recognise the widget held in the V. I'm sure, I've never seen it before.  :scratch:

But, held in the vice, it did the job perfectly........




There's strange things happens in workshops, when yer not watching!  :scratch:
