  1. I had to take an evening job to make ends meet. Spring maker by day then of an evening I did a bit of turning. My main task was turn a taper on some wooden handles, and radius the ends.

    One day I asked what the handles were actually used for, to my surprise they were being leather bound during the day shift then sold by Ann summers as whips!!!! That made the job a little more interesting!!

  2. I do a lot of grass cutting this time of year, over the past couple of weeks I have gone through 2 cheap Chinese strimmers! They just can't handle hours of work!

    Either stihl or echo, my old srm echo I have just keeps going! I've had to replace the head due to bearings wearing out but it's worked for hours on end for years!

  3. We have had a boxster for years, you can't beat the sound of the flat 6! 

    Ours is used as an every day driver, it's used as a work car and has racked up some miles. We found the more it was used the better it was. In 5 years of ownership it has never let us down!!

    Well for such a small mark I would get a used tea bag and rub it into the mark to stain the beech brown .keep applying if it's not dark enough at first .the stain will lighten as it dries .ignor the dried colour. The finished colour will be same as when its very wet. .

    When your satisfied. And the stain has been left to dry. Rub a bit of oil into the scratch. (This will bring back the colour and it will stay this shade .even when the oil has dried). 

    U can use any oil you find .

    Cooking oil will do .But a gun oil that hardens will be better obviously. 

    Don't use a water based lacquer .as your tea bag  stain is water based and will wash out. 

    So basically you are telling him to "tea bag" his stick :lol:

  5. Good luck, you will be grinning from ear to ear.

    The 600 will feel a lot more stable which inspires confidence. Try not to get nervous and keep a clear head!!

    When my partner did her test she really couldn't get on with the 125, she was being pushed all over because of the weather, stuck her on the 600 and it transformed her riding confidence 

    Don't panic about the high speed stuff, I was told years ago the bike is better at straight lines than you, just relax and let it move about beneath you. Riding motocross teaches a lot about how they behave, to a beginner it can feel unnerving.

  6. If the money is that good digs and work every hour possible. Rather than sitting staring at the walls you could be earning a lot more. Then come home Friday and enjoy family time.

    I commuted to Bristol every day a few years ago, the worst part of the job was the journey. If I caught it wrong it would add hours onto my day.
