    Tim finished that kit for the shelf queen GB a while back and should be in the completed section for your perusal Andy. That's probably the box artwork from it in the background...

    Thanks both of you....
    I must've missed that one, I'll check it out
    Love the tale about the "lost" door...
    ...... CLASSIC

              My anglepoise lamp just gets pulled over the front bench edge if I need to brighten the area and frighten off the carpet monster :thumb2:

                Standby for photos of the cave at Race Towers. Unlike Barry I can't often tidy up and I'm waiting for large sections of foam board to dry.

                Old calendar I've just noticed. Nice place to call my own, used to be my office years ago. Feel lucky to have the cave.

                    That looks excellent John. Perhaps, with a little tweaking, another application to the TBC would be favourably received. Enclosing couple of £10 notes would certainly help the committee to make the "right" decision.

                      I’ve got one of those magnifiers, with a round, fluorescent light around the lens, on an articulated arm that is bolted to my work surface. That also reaches down to underneath that surface and gets used more to look for small parts than at them …
