Got it in spades

And from the Chelsea Flower Show...





Though personally I regard this 'Ace of Spades' as a sad waste of good tools. Where I (and others) are collecting solidly built tools for a time when such things might be hard to obtain, these artists are chopping them up, welding them together and otherwise rendering them useless!
Still, it's a powerful piece and humorous, so I won't grizzle as much as I would if it was crap!

That would be now, it is so hard to get decent tools!
I am seriously thinking about making my own.

That's a very good idea Shunda. Adam is doing just that through his engineering course at Dunedin. He arrived back here this weekend with a marvelous device he's just built from steel and wood and has other equally useful things planned.

Wished I had of talked to Adam more, I'm not the best at meeting new people.

He and his mate are doing some really great things in Dunners,in the workshop and around the city. I'll email you a description sometime. You'll be inspired and you'll laugh (best combo!).
