No excuses necessary for 'having a bit of fun', that's why most of us turn. You mad a nice set there, and Elm as well.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

John, that's some excellent work, nicely crafted and finished, not too mention a cake stand in the back of the lower shot, only thing missing is the spoons.

Well done and very practical for the skills used.

Definitely cheers on this one ..  :D ...
