I have recently finished a workshop extension to better house my wadkin lumps. I thought I would pretty my shop up a bit so what else would I use but wadkin. I got some images and went online to one of those poster makers. I got 3 done at A3 size, because the pics were from online the quality was poor when enlarged. They were quite expensive as well. I got to thinking so tried it myself with my own printer and some decent photo paper. I got my hands on a really good resolution photo which I scanned and tile printed. I then glued them to some hardboard. I think it looks pretty cool. The finished print is 4'by3' and the detail is amazing.

On a different note I got some planer blades sharpened for my MJ and a little multico I have £28. I'm pleased I got myself an NV grinder coming

Hi Mark
That looks fantastic !
It almost looks like a wadkin museum
Will you be doing more of them ?

Yeah I hope to. The problem is finding a picture with good resolution so when enlarged it doesn't become pixelated
