team tractor Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 The ( new ? ) girlfriend has always said she wants the chopping board I made for my ex wife . I thought besides the usual chocolate and flowers I’d surprise her . she’s into all wooden gifts etc its all end grain and set me back 3-4 hours but I hope she likes it . Looks non symmetrical in the pics 🤷🏻♂️. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 THAT! with your expertise and equipment took you 3 to 4 hrs ???? OH! forgot I suppose you had to let the glue dry No, joking apart that is a nice tidy job and could not have done better myself. Could have intersperesed the light wood a bit better, but keep practising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have achieved there is a lot harder than it looks .excellent job . Nah!! Don't over do it. It may look terribly complicated but in fact if you have a bench saw and planer/thicknesser, plus a band saw then it is a piece of cake. No kidding and I think Nathan will agree, it is a lot easier than it looks with the right kit. Just time and patience. I was joshing him on how long to do the job, but a large part is waiting for the glue to dry between each stage. Come on Nathan do a Ditchie with a full rundown as to how it is done.

marsh man Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Never really been into Valentines , no point in starting something that you don't intend to continue , mind you , I did once go down to the Pizza takaway and on Valentines night they done the Pizzas in a heart shape and when I got home my wife thought I had gone all lovey dovey as she thought I had ordered it , didn't have the heart ( no pun ) to tell her that was how they come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once sent a card I think and that was before we got married...... closing on 58yrs to the same old hen so cannot have made that much difference. When we were going through the growing up process we found out you sent the girls you liked a card on Valentines day , as money was tight , or I wasn't sure I really like her I sifted through the boxes under the stairs and found a Christmas card that was unused , this was ideal as it cost me nothing , I wish I could say it had a happy ending but she never mentioned it and ended up in one of the brainy classes at the junior school before moving on to a grammar school ,while I went to a secondary modern school , although I never worked out where the modern bit came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robden Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Well, I reckon I'm on to a winner and possibly a promise. 🤔 The wife's got a bad back so I've got her a chair that she can sit on when doing the washing-up.........and people say that I'm selfish.
