    :) BHB - you'll appreciate this - the guy from our work farm today called to say are you in and delivered me a pile of wood from the old shed they knocked down!

    I'll spend saturday with the electric frankenstien saw (circular saw upside down bolted into a black and decker work mate) making many square logs :)

    I now have that image in my head ......

    similar to my sawbench with all the guards taken off :whistle::whistle: :eek: :D

    FAYE - 14 FAFFS for me now in total - sorry not updated for a while, been really busy with OU assignments due and Kids have had sick bug. (thank god I didn't have a drink last night else I would have struggled to cope with my youngest being poorly!)

    Hope everyone is doing ok - off to catch up on all the posts I've missed over the last week or so, could take me some time!
