It's school holidays where I live and I have 2 sons, one 15 and the other 12 turning 13.

The older one has 2 of his friends sleeping over tonight and my younger son has 1 friend sleeping over, so I currently have 3, 15 year olds and 2, 12 year olds high on sugar running around the house between the games room and their bedrooms.

Not even going to attempt to do any work tonight, think I will just go get myself a nice malt whiskey and hide upstairs with headphones on.

It's probably the safest thing I can do. :D

 My question for you is , Do you have a shed?

I have a workshop, I get upset with my wife when she refers to it as a shed.

But it is set up more for 'dirty work' has big my lathes, milling machine, cold cut band saw, buffing and grinding machines, ultrasonic cleaner etc in it, good for many things, but not for watch work and earlier in the evening it would of still been too hot in there as it was 37C today and my workshop is made of colourbond, has no insulation or cooling in it.

The glass of malt whisky did the trick though. :-)

My  apologies  to your work shop. Colloquialisms  vary in the English  speaking  world..no offense was intended. Thankfully  scotch is the universal  language.

No offense really taken, most people call it a shed, I just like to call it a workshop to distinguish it from the 'shed' that stores our push bikes, brush cutter and chainsaw.

Also if I call it a shed my wife thinks that means it can be used to store stuff rather than a place for me to fix and make things

      Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.

      You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°

      In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.

      My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄

      Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
