Mounts need to be the right size for the piece - if they are too tight they can chip the edges, ...

I've been getting ads for Sweaty Betty, and my name's not Elizabeth!!! Oh, and I'm not THAT sweaty either

You got it one, Roboframer. We couldn't be without the wood-burner during the winter months, and although we ordered our wood a bit late this year :oops: we have now got it split, stacked and drying in the barn. I guess that any bare wood offcuts make for good kindling too! A word of warning: If you...

Welcome Graham. I wish you continued success with your new venture.

Thanks everyone, very much appreciated. Have liked back where appropriate! Thanks also for your messages of support.
