If I could find one Rob I would be on it like a piranha  :D

Tony, have you got a Freecycle or Freegle scheme in your area? Might be worth a shot.

Also, we recently got a really nice 2 seater leather sofa from Gumtree for £20. Not that I'm offering it to you as we sit on it, but there are always loads of leather sofas on offer for cheap.  :salute:


Yep we have freecycle and all the others its split up in to  :tu:
I‘m after one that I can strip the good bits from and just leave the carcass where it is, not that I’m lazy and don’t want to get rid of a load of scrap  :whistle:

 :cheers:

Got any cows where you live? Just sayin'  :whistle:

Oh, and is that another Footprint you found today? Odd, I'd thought by now you would have had them all. :think: Surely there cannot be many of them left out there? ;)

Oh wow, a grass knife. It's been a few years since I've seen one of them. Us kids used to make smaller knives out of broken ones.

Hey David whats the tool in your avatar?  :think:

It's a Rescue Wedge. It was developed by firefighters to help them in their job. It's made out of aluminum and so it is light. I thought it might be handy for sumpton. More info here.   :)

David,  :think: I don’t know if you use the term ‘Jammy Git’ over there?

I bought the original unit, then a few months later I was given the little draw unit...
I cut the top down, still too high so sanded the bottom rails a bit, removed the battens on the end panels, it was still a bit wide, the ply end panels were de-laminating so I removed one layer from each end, now it fits so well I don’t need any fixings

This makes me a jammy git  :D  :D

And I still have a bunch of draws left over
