Sat at work I planned my evening because I needed to rip 2 pieces of a full sheet of 18mm plywood which meant a lot set up just for two cuts but needed to be done straight after work because it had to be done outside.

When team Forster is in da house no problem but when I have to go to the store cook tea walk the dog etc I knew I was not going to get out to me shed till later so I had to rip the back panels for my cabinets first

Lincoln was at drama, so I shouted up to Reagan to explain what I intended to do “Right this how tonight is going to work I am going to cut some wood first before it goes dark then I will go to the store…” “What’s for tea?” “Probably chicken and veg to use up the piece of chicken from last night!” “…but we had that 2 nights ago?”

I walked away.

After cutting the sheet of ply down I sorted out the rest, cheesey chicken wrapped in smoked bacon, washed up, dog walked and eventually got in me shed for an hour at 19:45 and when I fitted the back panels they were perfection…

I can’t wait to get back out there!

After spending a really sunny afternoon in the garden ripping down a sheet of plywood to make a couple of cabinets for my shed to carry my drill press sanders and sharpeners I spent today in me shed creating one and can’t wait to get back in there tomorrow to continue…

It rained all day today, so to have all the parts ripped down was brilliant, so apart from taxiing Reagan and Lincoln to church and back, going to the supermarket and watching the Broncos own Tampa Bay 26 – 7 I really enjoyed just woodworking all day

If you love someone, sometimes you have to let them go…this morning I reluctantly let go of @jamierae09 at Sandbach to travel across the pond to be with her Mom for a few weeks to heal her heart and replenish her soul. Safe travels dude, see you soon!

The Middlewich and District Pool League started again tonight and we played at home against Dishers a good team with lots of good players. Not an easy start to the season especially because we finished bottom last year and did not win a single point throughout the entire summer league but we came out fighting tonight.

Going three nil up was unexpected and at 4 1 needing another frame to get a point we dreamed of what might only to be pegged back to 4 all with two to play.

I chose Mike and myself to play the first doubles and managed to play really well and secure at least a point. Unfortunately, Jayden and OJ couldn’t quite win the final frame to take the spoils but a point in the first match we’d have taken before a ball was struck so onwards to next week and hopefully play even better…?

Had another idea today about making two cabinets on wheels to go under my dartboard to replace the shelves I have installed but are less than practical.

I have lots of ideas and watch tons of videos trying to learn how to work wood, and making stuff like that not only makes the tools I have more usable it also teaches me more techniques and allows me to practice them.
