"Every generation has to fight the same battles as every other. There’s no final victory and no final defeat" Thought this relevent to politics today

Is everyone ready for their 4th once in a lifetime economic collapse?

Why have the squirrels chewed Thier way into my chainsaw fuel?

A bit of an experiment, a prototype ring presentation box. Learned a lot. Like it can be a lot smaller, how to set up my band saw to make really straight cuts... And I have learned to measure twice cut once, for about the 17th time. Maybe it will stick this time

post a starship that's not star wars or star trek

Twin axle trailer at work. Zero brake function. Customer declined repairs. Because there is no legal requirement for inspections on trailers this thing is back on the roads carrying 2 ton of gear up the motorway at 60mph

Just realised I haven't posted Beezle in here before. He's an albino pacman frog. About 9 months old and in a constant state of grumpyness

Srsly. Not only is the "left to die" BS contrary to human nature, we have loads of archeological evidence against it! www.npr.org/sections/goa...

We seem destined to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life-there's hope That man wont self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow man With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life

A few hours relaxing on the lathe yesterday, a traditional sycamore fruit bowl, 10" x 3". Sycamore is often overlooked because if you don't use really sharp tools it can suffer from tear out. However I really like the smooth light colour and subtle ripples in the wood.

i see the leopards are growing fat on a diet of faces

The darkest night ain't black enough, To keep the morning light from shining, The highest wall ain't tall enough, To keep the smallest man from climbing, The more that you resist the tide, the more it pulls you in, The more you hang on for your life

Don't you love it when customers try to fix it themselves, can't, put the thing back together wrong and turn a simple £5 fix into £300 worth of replacement parts instead?

Looks like the "porn pass" is coming back for the UK. Notice how the BBC says "porn websites" in the title and the first paragraph says it also includes social media... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The independent regulator (IE not controlled by the sitting government) OfCom just published their new guidance. This is a disaster waiting to happen and also threatens net neutrality. Write a letter to your MP. Find your MP here members.parliament.uk/members/comm...

Yew is my favourite wood to work with, there is always such gorgeous patterns and figuring in the wood. Together with the rich golden colour yew always stuns me

If you see this post an image you saved just because it made you laugh

Was debating if I should post this one or not but what the hell. Its a one off so here goes. Ash and resin. The blank was originally intended for a coat hook base but I had a daft idea and made these stocks. The resin colour doesn't really suit them though

Got to say the lack of an algorithm on here is a blessing. It lets you talk and interact without risking flooding you friends feed with random or strange shit

An elm box project finished. Love how the resin came out but struggled a bit hollowing the lid I know to do things differently in future

a rush of people bringing Thier cars to the garage because they've been putting off repairs and are now facing a long drive over the holidays... Kill me pls

Witcher 4... Please please don't launch like cyberpunk did

Thank god that week is drawing to a close. Now to hibernate
