  1. On a similar digit related subject, Today I spent 5 hours mirror polishing a blade, it really put up a fight, got it to milky but really struggled to get it up to a full mirror finish, so Started again, and spent more time between grits. The problem I have now is I can't unlock my phone. It doesn't recognise my finger print, which is inconvenient to say the least. My fingers are red raw, when I washed off the black. Anyway thought you might find that interesting. Just out of asking is Muriatic acid just concrete cleaner?
  2. Well ouch is an understatement. During a momentary lack of concentration today while forging a medieval knife and fork my thumb somehow came between my 3 pound hammer and the anvil. Needless to say there was lots of swearing 🤬 and more swearing followed by some more swearing. The pain was excruciating, why I beleived shoving my thumb into my armpit was in anyway going to help. It wasn't long before my thumb developed a heart beat. Went indoors to show the wife my substantial injury. She had a rummage in the cupboard and plugged in this gadget which I didn't like the look of. Especially when the tip began to glow orange. She put it on my thumb nail and pressed then removed it and the blood must have shot 6 inches in the air. She said I might need an X-ray as its now twice the size of my other thumb. Well after the blood had been released I had a temporary spell of Ahhhhhhhh! before the excruciating pain started again. How can so much agonising pain come from a thumb. Its agony, can't concentrate. Its just pain pain pain. Me best mate decided I was in need of some first aid, which wasn't much help. Hope this eases up quickly got to get the knife and fork done by the weekend. But my damaged digit is making holding the tongs a bit painful.

    Help anyone?

    Thanks for that I now know the problem. My version of Word is too old 14 years too old.
  5. Top Job! Haven't made a stick for a while now. Might do one in Buffalo. Antler looks good but when there is brass involved the polishing really drags out as the black dirt that comes off the brass gets everywhere on the antler and its a job and half to get rid of afterward, Especially gets into what looks like micro cracks in the antler itself. really ruins the finish. Acetone comes in handy gets rid of some of it but when you have that antler shining white and then you hit the brass and its game over.

    Its made of mainly 2 year old anchovies and year old garlic. Plus a few secret erbs and spices, But 2 year old anchovies, bad enough straight out of the tin. Why would I ruin Tayto cheese and onion crisps The top shelf of cheese and onion crisps nothing comes even close by splattering them with Worcestershire sauce? I f you haven't tried Tayto Cheese and Onion crisps then get some B&M's do them in bags of 6 once you have you will realise that tarnishing them with "the elixir" is sacrilege.

    No there is no option to do that. Lots of other options like move to, compress and email, compress to zip. But not to pictures.

    I am muddling my way through building my website. Its been so far bloody complicated but its getting there. But I have just spent an hour trying to get some material I did on Word uploaded to the website builder. But so far its not having any of it. I have emailed the files to myself in the hope that the computer will automatically put them in the pictures file, which is what the website builder looks in. Getting the right hump now so before I open the gun cabinet and empty both barrels into my uncooperative computer does anyone know how to get the 4 files I want from documents into the pictures folder? It says Move to. but no mention of pictures. I am most perturbed!!!

    I had it once in Kendal at an old converted shoe factory, made into posh coffee shops etc. And to be honest I thought it was just cheese on toast slightly above its station.
  11. Would you mind if I nicked this? My daughter is a pretty good artist. And likes to do landscapes and sunsets and sunrises. I think that would be an ideal candidate for her easel.

    If you knew how Worcester sauce was made then I doubt you would want it. Vile stuff.🤢

    I reckon he was pretty much on his way out anyway. Probably the excuse his bosses where looking for and he gave it to them.

    Worked for a few agencies myself never again I'd rather be on the dole or whatever its called now. Most of them just want you on thier books as it looks good but very rarely call you for work. One that I won't mention the name of did give me plenty of work they say its long term work and you get all exited. work 3 weeks then they tell you the company don't need you. A week later they ring again telling you to go back there simply because if you work 4 weeks uninterupted by law they have to pay you holiday pay. Its a right mixed bag this thread ain't it?

    None now after confessing to being ginger and liking mild cheese and while we are at it I'm not shy about sporting a pair of crocs teamed with white socks
  17. Save yourself the work and do a Compo from Last of the Summer Wine and stick the ferrets down your trousers.

    Love cheese on toast but I have to say and I'm probably going to lose some credibility here but the cheese has to be mild, cannot stand strong cheese especially on toast. Even medium cheese will be rejected. And before anybody comes up with comparisons I do not like Richmond sausages!! like to make that perfectly clear.

    Nothing wrong with Cheese on toast mate Its the Welsh National Dish and I'm Ginger.
  21. Before you take a chainsaw to it, check there is no TPO on it. Not sure if Fir trees are covered but its worth a check. Bloke a couple of doors from me when we lived in Chafford Hundred lobbed one down and he got in all sorts of strife with quite a few different groups, council, Forestry commission. Got quite a substantial fine.

    Reading a story on The Suns's online pages. A binman has apparently been sacked for going all Bruce Lee on a snowman. He kicked its head off. And lost his job. Now in my opinion that is just a tad over the top reaction from his employers, Like he said it was going to melt anyway. A warning would have been adequate unless he was drinking at last chance saloon with them anyway. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13888102/binman-sacked-kung-fu-kicked-snowman-melt/
  23. Got the missus to read this and she seems to think things may have got crossed in the post so to speak. Test arrived before the questionnaire sort of thing. Ring the NHS covid hotline on 119, she says explain things to them and what you have done so far and they will get to the bottom of it.

    I cannot stand the music available for You Tube video's there are many sites that offer the music free. You can't use copyrighted material at all. Not even a snip. Its a shame because most of the music you can use is so bad. They all seem to have been sung by Pinky and Perky. The others the singer makes full use of Autotune. Getting aspiring bands to send thier music to you to use in your video's is a good idea. Colin Furze does it all the time but he is pretty much a You Tube celebrity. I doubt many bands just starting out would send me thier music, as my subscriber count is...........lets not go there!!!! Just watched the latest DIRESTA upload on You Tube the second part to his truck referb. And the music was dire!!! Sounded African tribal or something but I thought straight away this music does not go with the video at all, And just turned the volume down.
