nnnnngggh - Etsy seem to be running a test, cropping square format photos into portrait, chopping the ends off my shelf photos I've tried mounting shelves vertically but everything falls off them /curse gravity

more #welding of #handmade coat rack frames. After grinding & spraying these will have a solid English oak shelf crafted & attached Other stuff going on means these are 3+ weeks away from the #etsy store, customsawdustco.etsy.com has plenty of other pieces in the meantime

made a start welding some of the coat rack bits I made yesterday (there are longer ones in the works too) (the red in the background is paint from earlier spraying, *not* the blood of my enemies)

It's raining!

replacing bandsaw blade as snapped another - to be fair my fault, they really don't like variable TPI blades when used vertically #metalwork

suspect the rise of pervert goggles/sex pest specs are going to drive a trend toward thinner framed/frameless specs among us regular speccy four-eyes have an opticians appt due, and in the past all i had to worry about was "do these make me look like Joe 90"

today's archaeological find when clearing kitchen drawers - cat flea treatment with a 2007 expiry date we've moved house several times since 2007, packing & unpacking this each time

weather forecast suggests a 60% chance of rain at 6am so now I have to stay awake because I'm not sure I remember what rain is

one (only?) benefit of chronic insomnia is hearing the dawn chorus each morning it's been really thin on small birbs these last few days, almost entirely corvids, gulls, and pigeons - guessing/fearing the heat is proving devastating?

one day I'll stop moaning about welding in a greenhouse in full PPE in a heatwave, today is not that day Made a little jig to hold coat hooks in the right position as they're welded into a drilled flat bar

feeling there's some crossover between those saying £45 [off energy bills] is nothing/"won't even buy a meal" and the people who claim the poor don't know how to budget & how they could buy a sack of potatoes & batch cook to feed a family of 4 for a week with a tenner

despite being made of the finest cobwebs & soggy 1950s chipboard, the loft hatch lost its fight with gravity last night at 3am Was somewhat startling

is there anything to be said for bringing the muppets back on?

had a fab review (greatly appreciated) of this recently - was a stab at art deco style, an idea i'd like to return to one day, in hindsight bit too small for a spice rack but turns out ideal size to store yarn anyway, just one left @ £29 inc UK shipping customsawdustco.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

well this is a bit mad
