Re: Shed Matters 3
No pics from the shed, they take too long to load. I have done an hour in the shed. First job was to sharpen both 7/16" cutters and then to finish cutting the last piece of stock. I now have three pieces of stock ready for eccentric turning in the lathe. I have put all my tackle away and cleane...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
Like you David I am not happy about the introduction of these new grades of medical assistants. I have no objection to better paid nurses who have more qualifications.
