When is the best time to fix a wobbly chair? Before it breaks! When a chair starts to wobble is when the joints are beginning to be strained beyond their limit. Its very easy for me too tap them apart, clean the joints and reglue them. Why not get your wobbly chairs fixed before they break, just like the two chairs in the photo's below 😁

I haven't used this knowledge in a couple of years and it's all coming flooding back 😁 I do love doing this. I'd ask your forgiveness for my scruffy appearance, but anyone who knows me knows that this is my usual state 🤣🤣 especially in my workshop!

It is with a mixture of emotions that I must announce that I will be closing indefinitely as of the 15th of March. The last nine years have been interesting, to say the least, with a wild mixture of ups and downs. I would like to take a moment to deeply thank my customers over the years, you kept me going and gave me a great sense of job satisfaction and I wish you all the best for the future. I say I'm closing indefinitely because I know I'll be back one day, I've amassed to many tools and to much skill to let it go to waste! and because this is a passion for me, but i must accept reality and change course for a time. And again, thank you to all my customers of the past and some of the wonderful projects you let me do. All the best, Luke Ratsey

A big thankyou to Andy Fortune from The Mulberry Tree Woodturnery-Andy Fortune RPT for loaning me some time on his lathe. Mine unfortunately wasn't quite long enough between centres, but Andy saved the day. If you've ever been interested in learning woodturning I'd highly recommend him. Good teacher with regular courses available.

Replacement door in and working like a dream. I love some of the character that something as common as oak can have 😁
