It has been a struggle, for the last week I have been sat texturing various pieces in my workshop with only the radio and pints of cranberry and soda water/ice to save me from dehydration, it's hell.   ;D

In previous years Lidle have sold Air con units and they are good as I got one. Well worth getting if they come around again, if you have storage for the other 360 days of the year when you won't need it.  :)

Its a tough life being a turner.  :)

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Warm enough today and hopefully tomorrow and Sunday as well, at least dry. Got shows both days and people tend to be a bit happier if the weathers nice LOL.
