If I am doing long posts I often type them in MS Word first just in case. Not sure that is any good if you are including pictures though.

Great picture. Sorry I will not be able to meet you at the event of the century in June but I had committed to a family holiday in Devon before I knew the date. So no need to renew my visa after all!

It is great to watch you using these tools that have come down through your family. I am ashamed to say I have a dovetailing jig that was my maternal grandfather's and I have never used it. Thomas, you have inspired me to come up with a project just so I can use it.

Street legal is an interesting concept. I know some US states don't require a front plate but I hadn't realised Illinois didn't require a rear one! Being able to drive your competition car on the road makes development and testing much easier. I would be reluctant to compete in anything other...

Keep posting! I used to work with a girl whose father was a consultant brain surgeon. He thought the same!

Thomas, what are the row of similar but not identical items in the picture? Perhaps they are moulding shapers?

Well I have been wondering for many months why I wasn't receiving emails about updates on this thread. To be honest its the only thread on GJ I have been following in recent years. I was delighted to discover that it was a function of the software update and not anything worse. Great thread...

Well that would be worth renewing my visa for!

Re: Deck Ramp Threshold We are proud of you. Always good to see things being fixed rather than binned and replaced. Far more interesting. Also, did you do the tig welding yourself? Thanks, David

A specialist piece of kit like that must have been a significant investment when it was new. Looking at the truck it is mounted on, I guess it is a few years old now. Although, I no very little about US trucks.

Well Thomas the portion size must be good if the delightful Chris brings your meal out to the old shop in a wheelie bin! As someone who has been married for 33 years I know the need to be careful.

Thomas, that is quite a stack. It makes our broad band router look a little inadequate. I bet as a result you can pick up your WiFi in all of the other buildings. Ideal for ordering parts. I assume you have the video technology to be able to see how the cooking of dinner is coming on in the...

Did you realise that the steel girder under the ridge needed to be earthed even though it has a layer of roof tiles between it and the outside?

I don't know about "Powdercoat Appreciation". Since this thread started I have bought a powdercoating gun, consumables and a halogen oven for curing. Now I can even manage 2 layer powdercoating! Much easier than spraying paint and much neater than brushing paint when you have small bits to do in...

Thomas, what do you do with the yield information? Does it lead to selective manuring of areas where the yield has dropped? I no some of the farms around here do soil compaction tests. They then only plough etc where the testing indicates a need.

Thomas, thank you once again for providing a comprehensive answer to one of my questions. David

Sometimes I think I understand the layout of your site and then I see a picture that confuses me. Today I see that the Shop has 2 separate but near identical car ports on different elevations. Is that correct? I will never pass the test. Somewhere on this thread there is an aerial picture that...

Thomas, I do like all of your solid wood doors.

Traditionally in the UK we tend to heat some rooms more than others. Such as lounges warmer than bedrooms which are warmer than the hall/landing/stairs. You need close fitting doors to prevent drafts where there are temperature differentials. The questionable modern trend to open plan is...

Thomas, I have always considered minor oil leaks from the sump, gearbox and rear axle to be an anti rust measure! Perhaps I have spent too many years working on MGs.
