Only one image needed. This morning I finished the initial turning of the first crankshaft and cleaned the lathe up ready for setting up the next shaft tomorrow. All the chips are out in the bin and I have swept the floor.

Bumped again, write on your photos!

No takers? I'll knock it on the head if there are no guesses by dinnertime.

See THIS for a curious little item of news..... Minister of State Chris Philp was asked a question by an audience member from the Democratic Republic of Congo during BBC One's Question Time. Mr Philp asked in response: "DR Congo is a different country to Rwanda, isn't it?" - raising eyebro...

It's anybody's guess how long it was since this vise was first fastened to the tree next to Forty Steps. Long enough for it to be part of the tree. It disappeared when more houses were being built there about 30 years ago.

I shall be in the shed for an hour on my shafts and I need a swift trip to the Co-op for milk after second sleep. As for the rest of the day, I shall take it as it comes!
I'll admit to it being chilly to my bald bonce!

Then as now, a storm in a teacup compared with the other 'scandals'.

Yesterday afternoon we got the rain they forecast but it was only light spatters of big drops at short intervals. By 20:00 when I went to bed it was dry, clearing and we had some late low sun from the west. This morning first thing it was calm and we had broken overcast. We appear to have complete o...

I offer THIS without comment, just a deep sigh. See THIS news that one of Harvey Weinstein's rape convictions has been overturned. Hollywood actress Ashley Judd says the overturning of disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction is a "hard day for survivors". "But we...

I did as you suggest Kev, a small polite leg pull about dry weather....
The good thing is that as the weather is dry the wall is drying slowly of its own volition!

It sounds like a massive task Ian. Thanks for the effort.

That sounds like a clear out Sue!
Kev, does that mean the Wharf has closed?
Meat and veggies X three for breakfast dinner and tea.

I shall run a log in here to map the outages. I have started the day with a gateway error so I am probably in for another bad morning. I shall do my best! 02:57. Back to near normal speed. 03:20. Gateway error and go slow is back. 03:45. Back to near normal speed. 04:15 Gateway error and go slow is ...

As sung at Rick's Cafe, Casablanca Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrive!          First lines of “La Marseillaise, by Rouget de Lisle.     I can’t remember when I first heard the French national anthem, but it was when I heard it sung at Rick’s Café Américain (in the movie Casab...

That should do it, I've done a sun dance as well!

Always are. I wish I had a pound for every one I have had on engines and wagons!
Thanks Ian, I wish I could help. I shall go and watch Ronnie win his match at the Crucible.

Not yet Kev..... I don't believe in nagging but I'll admit to getting a bit antsy!

The bad news is that at the moment it's as bad as it's been all morning Ian. 502 error every time almost.
And as I posted that it suddenly went into high speed! Must be bloody frustrating for you.....

I reckon that's about right Peter!

My Covid booster is booked for Monday 6 May. Sounds as though it is still a meaningful vaccination from the after effects. I shall watch out for them and look after myself.

Peter, it's asking me for my password frequently as well. I don't think it's personal!

Morning Sue, you were lucky, it went AWOL again but has just come back.



As you can see, after refining my set up a bit more I started cutting and have finished one leg of the shaft. Ready to start the next tomorrow.

"In the meantime Ian is working hard blocking them."
Yes, I know he is. I'm not complaining, just reporting in the hope I may give you a clue as to what is going on. I'm back on to try to post on Shed Matters. I shall get there in the end!
Thanks for responding Kev.....
