I guess? Or capital gains? I am *very much* not an accountant but it feels like tax liability is just one more thing that hasn't concerned them

45x45x90cm at mo, dimensions of current one (which works for current one, but I'm not so sure for this design)

at a minimum you'd expect there's a giant tax liability

something like this? the dimensions aren't quite right, looks a bit too desk-like at mo, probably needs to be ~10cm lower

the little side shelves are primarily there to prevent racking rather than bulking out the steel frame, but not sure of them either

a gazillion years ago I used to work for the railways and got free rail travel. every few weeks the office would do a "cultural visit" - use the free rail travel to pub crawl a random county

we never went to northampton

yeah definitely worthy of the first's legacy

had layers of the puzzle that allowed us to feel smart while still surprising - we guessed the baddy and a key location but not how it was put together, yet all the clues were there

really like the crater carving, think it works especially well on the charred rim

this afternoon allowed some time for #welding guard rails to the angle iron shelf supports

will clean up tomorrow & prepare the steel to join them together 🧵/8

next up, cut those rails to length then bend them to a sort of stretched "C" shape 🧵/7

I also #handmade steel & oak toilet roll holders, which would be an... inventive... way to say "i love you" at Christmas

between £25 & £35 including free UK shipping and also on #etsy at customsawdustco.etsy.com

very brief update, starting to make guard rails - gather ~7.5m of flat bar and, as before, grind off the mill scale & surface rust 🧵/6

i'm having to do some metric conversion googling here, but if 22ga is really 0.75mm then i'd have certainly just blown big holes trying to stick weld it

you're definitely starting on hardmode stick welding metal that thin but it's all learning!

I really should do the same on flu, but getting COVID vacs for the household is too much of a stretch at mo. Makes visiting folks at Christmas a bit worrying

yeah this has infuriated me this year - constant warning that this year is a bad one, reminding everyone to get a jab, and absolutely no expansion of eligible demographics
