Tea?

Happy Leap Day

I've forgotten it's a leap year,

I hope my OH doesn't get any ideas.

Good afternoon. This is a point in time when I wonder if I will be here the next time this day comes around.
But anyway... the sun is shining in Saffron Walden and I'm cooking beef stew with dumplings, so all is well.

Earring of the day:

One way to get out of it is to say 'Ask me this time next year'.

Saffron Walden! Bl**dy hell, you're close.

If you pop around, this is where I make the tea:

This is where we'd bake the cake (we can't burn it yet, as there's no cooker hood!):

And if you stayed for a drink, this is where the wine rack will be:

Here's a gratuitous photo of the recycling bin :

Thanks for the reply,
she has just arrived home, so far, so good,
I do hope she's forgotten too.

Is that at a DeWalt DW624 or a DW625EK(110v) router?

So whereabouts are you in Suffolk, if you don't mind me asking?

It's 240 V, not sure of the model number., but it's old. Nowhere near as good as its predecessor, the ELU MOF(92?)

'Tis DeWalt though. ELU were a similar, but darker, colour to Bosch.
What is as good as the one it replaces nowadays?

I'm not sure about other routers, to be honest. I have a half inch Makita mounted permanently in a table which would be rough as old boots for hand-held work, I reckon, but does a good job fixed. The DeWalt is fine, really, other than the plastic shroud which is supposed to help with dust extraction, but actually just obscures your view. I think my old Elu was a silver colour, like the Elu planer I've got.

Bought the "Trade Tools" then?

The only DIY tools I have ever bought are jigsaws, because they're pretty useless pieces of junk at the best of times, so there is no point having an expensive one. The rest are all decent. I wish my planer/ thicknesser had a longer bed, and that my bandsaw was an old cast iron 16" lump that you need a forklift to move, but other than that I'm quite content with my kit.

Treadmill operated, like the sewing machine?

Just checked to see if there was a forklift going cheap(or even cheep) and got this. I'm aware the office environent can be a dangerous one at times, but PPE?
