I'm in enough pain without the flogging she'd give me for looking at a book with a cover like that.
I might carve a handle for the adze that has appeared out of the mess I call a shed. Any plans, suggestions shapes etc?
Probably shouldn't ask you Al it might end up looking like the twig of Orgasmo and I seem to have attracted the curse associated with that already.:D

I think I paid about $30 for it, i got it off epay.

Al :)

Just saw this. Bad luck! They can be cantankerous buggers, ladders, deserving of respect. I hope your ankle comes good quickly, it must be a real dampener on all sorts of activities.

Argh Jim,

Thanks for your reply on the stapler issue. I have been away on holidays for a while and when I saw your signature and teddybear I had to track down your disaster - mate no good at all. :eek:

I tell you what though if you are still interested in some no risk woodwork whilst sitting down I highly recommend scrollsawing - just a thought;) .

Jim, mate!

I missed your original post on this and I've only just now tracked down the reason for your bandaged avatar.

That is bloody bad luck. Sounds very painful and is, no doubt, very inconvenient.

Get well soon, son! And while you're sitting there with your elevated lower limb, let your imagination wander and develop the plot lines in the RITFOTU. Anchors aweigh!

Pip-pip!

Col

Yeah, actually, I saw that you had changed avatars and were talking about broken bones, but I didn't know what happened. It took the finger-jointer disaster to get me to finally track it down though.

I feel sorry for you, nasty break by the sounds of things. Mind you, I know someone (what is more he was an experienced painter who was on ladders every day of his life) who once forgot to attach the safety loop. He fell off the ladder. It was only a short fall, but he fell badly and broke his back. As they say, there is always someone worse off than you. :(

Still, an kind of injury absolutely sucks - especially one where the bone starts wanting to come out and breathe come fresh air. :(
