  1. yes, exactly that here's a boring photo of my wax block A 150mm/6 inch ruler laid on it
  2. The others have said it; very nice. May it reach a good high price it the auction
  3. I preferred the old theme look, it was unique. Now the look is like all the other websites on www, it is cold and clinical. I preferred the adverts at the top of the page. Having them dispersed through the messages its hard to tell which adverts should remain and which are 'pop-ups' that need deleted. I'll not use an advert blocker as the website needs those adverts showing fro revenue My thanks also to Joanna for keeping things going and working through this problem All this reminded me I'd not sent a donation for a while. Its done now, so fresh coffee can made on the stove
  4. As the end of the month nears and my report looms, I never got the out-side pieces out again. We had a couple of very big storms, with winds blowing 75 -80 mph, gusting to 90 -95 mph. Only a couple of days between the storms which lasted about a week each. However, the pieces inside the car are ok see y'all later
  5. Moi aussi I recently made me a bigger and deeper slab
  6. Whatever way you attach the thread to the needle - wax it, and wax it every so often whilst you sew. Leather is very abrasive, especially to the weaker thread I have a few of these; I just pull the thread though it every so often. But you don't need one of them, just a block of bee's wax will do.
  7. Twist the thread in the direction against its wind, this will open up the individual threads which make it up
  8. If no-one close to you in England comes forward you could try asking Le Prevo in Newcastle How much leather do you want reduced?
  9. So my old piece of beech should now be replaced with an expensive wotsit For that's how I usually use Ol' Faithful # 22
  10. Use one of these; as well as polishing the prongs and regularly waxing them whilst in use
  11. wotsitdo?
  12. Its not an odd question. But where in the UK are you located?
