Two reasons why not to let Nigel near your woodworking tools!

Recommended Posts

As some of you will know Nigel an I have had some trailer repairs to do after Noddy (The Holder) put a wheel through the trailer bed on the way back from Rural Past Times on Sunday..

 

These two chisels were perfectly usable until Nigel used them today  :o:hdance::yankchain::D

What was he chiseling? :D

 

Marine ply board..

 

 

 

Sounds to me that the trailer should not have been on the road :o

 

It wasn't that bad Chris, one wheel only sunk though an inch or so. 3 inches below the board is the steel trailer frame which would of stopped Noddy going and deeper if it had got that far..

 

 

 

Jeez, what hell was he doing?

 

:D  The new board needed to be notched to fit around the holes the uprights slot into..

You should have told him to use a wooden mallet, not a lump hammer. :rolleyes:

 

I don't have a wooden mallet, only a rubber one which tends to bounce off the top of a chisel :D

Anyway, don't take this post to seriously chaps, I thought you'd like a laugh at the poor chisels.. I certainly laughed when the first one bent :D

It's the temperature in Ian's shed,it softened the metal,did he have his wood burner on to keep the kettle hot? :D

 

Maybe I shouldn't use the chisels for stirring coffee :D

 

 

 

any way at least the trailers fixed :D  all ready for tractorfest now :D

 

It is indeed mate, and a very good job we made of it too :thumbs::D

chisels are better for stirring coffee with than welding rods, but you do get that nice 'coffee shop' aroma if you weld with the rod before it dries. ( no doubt someone will try it to see ) :rolleyes:
