Cheers for that Billy, should I perfect some sort of secret handshake or something?

I'm off to Madrid tomorrow so a day off from the sweat box.

My technique though has gone from woefully inadequate to barely passable.
Couldn't find any PVA so bought Cola Blanca wood glue, no ill effects so far.

I'm going to find someone to help me with this, at this rate I'll still be on the damn underbuild at Christmas.

Yours, disheartened with grazed knuckles and a sore arm.

All part of the learning process....
