[QUOTE="roys, post: 447370, member: 5044"] Hi Col, enjoying reading your little stories, it is true what you say about people losing skills and rather than repairing / making things they would rather just buy new or pay someone to come in and fix for them. I often have this conversation with a few of my like minded friends who are also "sorters" not "reporters". I remember in the 70's every 2nd house or so had a garage or shed at the bottom of the garden with dad making something and young son standing at side learning the tools, I was that son like many on here, indeed a dying breed, sheds and garages now tend to house lots of little used mountain bikes. Also good that this thread has gone mostly of track 😀 But as Phil on here said that is the art of conversation. Nice pieces of furniture you are turning out, it is great having a good well equipped personal workshop. Are you worried about your posties eye sight 😀Only kidding. [/QUOTE]
