I got my last lot of ply and MDF from a specialist supplier just doon tha
rood from here - half the price of B&Q (in 8 x 4s mind...) and good quality
stuff.

When I had a tour at a brickworks one time I was given an ammonite - about
93,000,000 years old!! :-)

They had hundreds of them!!


eBay's well cool - click buttons, stuff shows up. :-)


Unless it's an amp from Hong Kong....!!

Sre, I don't buy for buying's sake - apart from the little tiny screwdriver
in the set I mentioned the rest of it will get the usual thrashing!! :-)

The reason I ask is that my garage is a bit of a trot down to the bottom of
the garden, so 'yer tea's ready' is a couple of 1 second power cuts in quick
succession - so far it hasn't caused any problems!!! :-)

(Thankfully me drill press and table saw's got their own zero volt reset
switches!!)
