Well, what can I say. Monday I went around to Ashley's. Ashley was going to show me the error of my ways and how easy it is to cut bits of wood up with a bandsaw. Very early on it became very clear that I have really been missing out and after a few expletives about how easy it is, I had some bits of wood for a LCM. Moral of the tale, Buy a Bandsaw. So that is what I am going to do at the very next opportunity. Mainly when some of the more expensive ones go in the sale, if not it will be a cheaper version to get me going.

While I was there, and it was a few hours, you know how it is when talking boats and wood and foam and Hardboard, OK not hardboard, but I was shown a few of Ashley's amazing collection. From the very early days right up to the secret projects that he is now working on. What a great collection of boats. Well I say boats, that does not do it justice, there are Boats, planes (that float), cars and vans (that float) and a myriad of other wonderful creations that I can't talk about. They are secret remember.

Thank you for an evening very well spent and the wood. Freecycle now a favourite on my browser. Sorry about the expletives.

Saw a bandsaw AND a scroll saw on the same stall at a boot fair this very morning. Bandsaw was in better nick than mine and it was a tenner! If I weren't moving soon I'd have bought it as a spare, so incredibly useful are they. Gawd knows how I survived being a professional modelmaker for so long without one!

Going to have to keep my eyes open for a bargain. Thanks Martin.

Too good to be true, and more than likely stolen goods. I was "shedded" a number of years ago and my bandsaw and scroll saw were prime targets. The police officers reckoned they would be in a car boot sale in either Leicester or Derby the following weekend.
