Might want to test it out at food festivals, I used to do these about ten years ago and there were a couple of stall holders (one doing tea, incidentally) that went on to have really big companies from it. It’s a good way to see how it’s received by the general money spending public rather than friends, family and general well wishers and without much outlay.

I’ve got some interlocking tiles, over 30sq meters worth, I’ll be selling soon if you’re interested.

I have a metal workshop and have been mucking about for about 10 years with it. Not had much chance to do anything lately as my workshop is far from home and too much at home keeping me occupied. Although I am moving my workshop in the next couple of months to within walking distance and hope to get back to it asap. I have a big project I’ve been working on which I intend to make my full time job so I can sack off the 9-5 office life.
But for the past few years I’ve just been making stuff I’ve needed/wanted, restored loads of things, making parts that don’t otherwise exist etc.
Mostly metal bending, welding, lathe etc.
One day I want to make a penny farthing, have designed it all just need to find the time to make it.
In terms of learning I find just getting the right tools for the job you’re doing and playing about with them mixed with YouTube tutorials. I did welding classes which was useful for hands on stuff. Finding old guys that do machining is great, if you’re interested they’ll happily talk and tell you about crazy stuff you didn’t even know was possible. Quite valuable really as the skills these guys have are something special and not seemingly being replaced.

Thanks for the thought, I am but I’m balls deep in property renovations and all the bills that go with it at the moment. When that’s completed I’ll be looking for one though unless one turns up at a ‘too good not to’ kinda price.

We were there earlier, they did a light show thing there last year too.
It’s the old coach tunnel which apparently leads to one of the platforms. The oldendaysers would get straight off the train and on to a coach which would whisk them away, via this tunnel.

I’ve got a couple vintage modified jazzmasters from a few years back, they are supposed to be faithful replicas of the originals, or something like that. A lot of guitar for the money. Just need a good setup to get the most from it.

Tried heat? Someone may have put thread lock on there. Although I doubt it would be that strong. Even so, heat can get anything off

Possible to add a vent or anything hole like to let air circulate and reduce the humidity?

Got a car for sale if anyone needs one, we needed to get something bigger but would have happily kept it.
2012 Renault megane, free to tax does high mpg, 60k miles thereabouts I think. My parents owned it before us from new. Always been reliable and very cheap to run and insure. Offering it up at £2000 before it’s listed elsewhere. Drop me a line if interested
Yeah it is the same one, blue bird tea, it’s pretty mental I remember the girl that runs it doing a few of these little tea blends off a table and now she’s on tv and has loads of shops etc. she’s done very well for herself. At the time it looked like a hobby stall, which a lot of these things are, but she must have had something else going on in her head to take it that far.
