Me too. Mind you, I think terrified is what keeps us alive. That, and a conviction that everybody else is actively trying to kill me and I musn't let them.

But don't you get fed up of all the motorcycle shaped dents on the outside?

Mine was in 08 a truck pulling a dual wheel trailer turning left, we don't see many volvo's here :doh:  luckly only took out my right side. So long term disabilities till I retire in 2019.

Well, one half of the joint’s done, not overly impressed with my skills but hey-ho.  Not much work done today either.  First off, I used the block plane to get the “lower slope” flat and even, then pared with the chisel the “upper” slope as there was no way to get in there, unless I used the shoulder plane and therefore couldn’t be a***d.  Then I managed to b****r up the rebate at the top by being too enthusiastic with hitting stick and chisel.  Additionally, this rebate was narrow and the only chisel I had to match was now ground skew!!;



Then I chipped away at the tenony thing on the end, this time using a gentler touch and going a bit slower;



Boy, I’ve been taught chiselling by about 5 different people and appear to have forgotten everything they must have told me.  This bit came out relatively satisfactory though.  So here we are, one half of a scarf;



I’ve marked the other half, from this and if the weather improves we’ll see if I can do this in one day.
