No chance Fuji—— no need to. I’ve got a pair of little bastard Leprechauns in the shop—— I row with them all the time. My specs are their favourite playthings—— the minute I put them down, the little buggers hide them. They always put ‘em back when I threaten em with extreme violence.

I can relate. I went to the dollar store & bought a dozen pair & sprinkled them about. doesn't help one bit.

Not one little bit—— I have ten of each, six and seven mill wrenches out at any given time—- you wouldn’t believe the places the tiny little buggers hide them—— I threaten them—— plead with them—- suggest that fried and battered leprechaun sandwiches might be nice!
They've been with me for so long now that we have an unholy alliance—- I show them respect and understanding and they piss on me from a dizzy height????

I know the south sea schooner got binned when we moved house three years ago—- think the wing is somewhere in the shed under a pile of rubbish !
Told you I have ‘em coming outa the woodwork everywhere!!!

All metal job I did for Roget Hinsdale a few years back.

Another all metal job that adorns Gary Strays desk ?

That’s the original. “MALIBUSTANG “ — was meant for Gene - but it never quite came up to muster—— it’s still under the bench collecting dust !

[jackiewilson]

Reason you’re getting inundated with Yesteryears piccies is—- ive got chronic backache from standing at the bench too long and decided to annoy all my friends on S+F.

Another “Blast from the Past” .

do you have nice soft rubber floor to stand on at the bench, that helps...

Also workbench too low, maybe a spacer under each leg would help....under the bench I mean..not Jac........well you y’all get the picture��

Solid concrete floor with an old two foot circular mat from the bedroom !
I have soft rubber soledshoes—— does that count?

No, I built the workbenches from scratch to suit my stature and needs.
Space is too valuable to leave legroom—— plus, it means I have to sit down to stick my legs under the bench.
