For years have sharpened chisels, planes etc., by eye. But using more hardwoods means I need more accurate bevels ... trying a veritas guide now and its working well.

I have things to sell and things I want... I really want a stone bench for under my rose arch but they are not things you can just stumble across

A1 hi. In Quixoticgeek, a maker in the Netherlands. What's inspired me this week? Not sure. Today I got instructions for using the CNC router at the makerspace, and the Tig welding equipment. Which opens up quite a few new possibilities. Need to have a think tho, I really don't need any more projects until I've made some more progress on the current project pile.

Tell us who you are, and what’s inspired you this week.

A1: Ahoy! Andy here. Inspiration, hmph. I’ve been struggling with a lack of that for a while. It’ll come back. At some point.

I think as long as it's not uncomfortable, a messy heel doesn't matter!

Um. Not much. It hasn't been a very inspirational week.
Wait, the nice weather inspired me to dig up the old Polaroid and finally shoot some film again!

Hello, I'm Sue - miniature maker and quilter.

Not sure I have any making inspiration this week, but success at the carboot sale on Saturday is definitely inspiring me to go again and sell more unwanted stuff!

This week I've been struggling with the heel of my sock. I've made a fright mess of it, fridges it, redid it, made a right mess of it again. I've decided that I can live with a very messy heel and move on, because I'm fed up with it and can't bear the thought of having to redo it again. My next pair of socks will not have double knitted heels, that's for sure.

Hi Ropey!
How are you feeling, now. Better I hope.

Inspiration is largely still "thank you" based for hospital staff but also I've got a few commissions from a local shop who have asked me to make up a few examples of crochet kits they're selling. Obviously I'm doing that ... And a little more

Greetings everyone. Inspired this week by the fact that the seasonal tool sharpening / cleaning is done and it is warm enough to get in the garage.
