That’s brilliant @louis123! Thanks for the update and best of luck with your course, 5 years should teach you a few things 😆 Cheers!

@tv101 Veritas is a good choice I think, all their stuff is decent quality. An index of the live streams would be useful but I enjoy browsing through them all to find the correct one. I also remember ...

In which live stream was this? That puts a thought in my head. We need some sort of index/directory of what Mark covered in which Livestream. There are so many of them (yay!) and he covers so much s...

@koendb No worries glad I could point you in the right direction.

@rocknroller912 Thank you sir! Watching right now 🙂

@koendb This one, it’s worth going for a quality one from a wood supplier and not Amazon or eBay as they can be cheap versions from China which as previously commented don’t work too well. The guide a...

@steveadams Glad I’m in tune with your family thinking, it just proves what a hive mind the Bailey community is. I believe May is a record cold month here so make the most of whatever sun you are gett...

Hey @rocknroller912 It's something that my family have been very very keen to point out.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Cheers Steve
