Electric pencil-sharpener ???

I used to have a Coronet CMB500. Untold hours of fun dodging flying skew-chisels ....  ;D

Best bit was the slot mortiser att. Could do with that now ...  :headscratch:

Thanks Guys

The offending items include a Coronet Planer, a slightly more substantial than your standard hobby wood lathe and a Ajax pillar drill which will all be looking for a new home once they have had all that saw dust removed from them  :disappointed:

The only reason I was interested in any of this tat was the Startrite 352 Bandsaw that is included in the lot, which they were mean and would not let me have on its own. Hopefully I will be able to slow the saw down to cut metal, if nothing else it will be very useful for cutting fire wood   :naughty:

Just before the knife cut through them they posed for one last photograph :P

Which means it must be dinner time  :drinking-41:

Any time Teresa makes up a dish of asparagus...she makes a batch of brussel sprouts for me.
In fact, that's happening tonight.

I will not show her your pictures.  :ShakeHead:

I am not sure Asparagus and Brussel Sprouts have quiet the same intended effect.  :noidea:

Garden boxes are finally in.
T seems pretty happy but I'm not as much.
You'd think a landscaper would know to level the boxes.
Even when reminded to do so!

But so long as she is happy...I'm happy.

1st shot are two raised boxes on the newly paved area. (The pool is undergoing renovation.)
2nd shot are two raised beds by the new deck.
3rd shot are 6 raised beds going down along the strip that was part of the original garden.

I'm not sure what all is planted (she's out of town right now).
Tomatoes for one.

I thought this was going to save me but I was just texted to go out and weed the boxes. Sigh.

I built a wall today. To keep things in, not out.

Zee..........maybe your landscaper installed sewer systems or hung gutters in a former life!  :lolb:

Some settling will occur :-) Maybe they calculated how they would settle after the first rain storm, after which they will be level.

All gone a bit quiet in here....   :smokin2:

One is wondering if a certain young lady's courgettes and tatties have recovered from the recent frost  :headscratch:
