Re: Weddin present.
It's really lovely.
Thinking out loud, and trying to be occasionally less wrong...
Re: Weddin present.
That's most unusual and I think a much better gift than something bought. It looks like a lot of care and attention went into it.
Re: Weddin present.
Also, I hope I'm not the only one examining the DVD collection in the background.....
Re: Weddin present.
Part of the sons collection. Probably 2000 or more. Missus wants them gone for the new kitchen I have to make her for the new year.
Hey Joe, do you want to put a bid in for them
Re: Weddin present.
Don't tempt me as I "rightsized" my collection a few years ago and I've moved over to having films electronically on a NAS and stream them to the TV or phone (via Plex)

Re: Weddin present.
Finally got to finish the oiling and polishing, after numerous applications of both,
Quite a large piece about20" high and based around a 12" diameter trunk. 22 coats of danish oil and 25 coats of beeswax polish.

Re: Weddin present.
Had a great weekend at the wedding. It went on for 4 days. And my sons american guest said " Maaannnn this is a wedding"
And my 90 year old parents really enjoyed it, in the set piece my son made for it.

Re: Weddin present.
Thankyou. I tell him I taught him everything he knows. And he says "Not Everything"
I cant deny he is very talented...
