WrenchGuy Sometimes life is just that straightforward... Why do we seem to make it so difficult sometimes???? Outlaw I was in two minds if it is a "child seat" but these style of small corner chairs are quite common in the UK (although without swivel draw) as housing and bedrooms are quite...

Well the car boot was a bust this morning, they were queuing to park and queuing on foot for 300metres to get in. After being jostled in the line for 10 minutes with no forward movement I called shenanigans and left. Decided to stop at a couple of Antique stores on the way back. Finally "pulled...

I hear you Outlaw and I know I'll pick up more, but I've bought 20 clamps in 3 days... A touch of shock on realising that fact! :o Also the fact that I rent a terrace house and my "workspace" is a small basement means I'm going to have to be creative with storage.... Again Think I'll spend...
