a very inaccurate material
silverclaws":2cp7aemy said:But the inaccuracy I experienced was part due to the conditions of it's creation, sitting on the grass outside with hand tools to cut the wood to size is hardly ideal, but at least it was hardwood, teak I think, but some wood I ripped out of a double Divan I smashed up so it could be stuffed in my car for only one dump run.
Next job pan rack for kitchen, am on look out for old floorboards as they are ideal for what I have in mind.
To be fair blow lamps and landlords dont mix for a reason,theyre dangerous and it would probably be ok on your own property but with someone elses its their rules im afraidsilverclaws":2nks4fyu said:Unfortunately no where to put a work bench, as only I have my flat which did have a jewellers bench in it where I used to do some light metalwork, but someone complained and now my landlord has banned me from doing jewellery making in the flat, and to think my flat is only one with two different types of smoke alarm and a gas detection alarm, yeah, I used to use a propane blow pipe in the flat to do my silver soldering.
