    Default Ooops. Busted with one in the oven...

    She Who Must Be Obeyed arrived home early........

    Yesterday, I completed a refinish job on a solid but cosmetically compromised Stanley 4.5. Four coats of black high temperature engine enamel.

    It has come up a treat if I do say so myself.

    However.

    SWMBO can not seem to get across the idea that is essential to bake HT engine enamel at 220C for at least an hour, or it will never ever get to the fully durable state I need it in. She was quite rude about it. Something about food something something contamination something something something chemical smell something.

    Amazingly, she failed to return to a calm state when I informed her (in my defence) that I had done this very thing many times before, and as she had not noticed any lingering odours or other problems then it is obviously OK. If anything, she became less composed.

    I'll never understand ' em.

    Is it worth buying a second hand oven for the shed?

    It's a wonder SWMBO didn't think back to every conceivable ailment over the past years and pinpoint it to the times you "baked the Stanleys".

    He might need it to cook for himself. A bed might come in handy as well

    I'm not sure I'm getting the sympathy I was searching for gentleman.

    I measure or two of empathy, but not much sympathy.

    Well if I do have to cook for myself then I'm putting the leg of lamb in WITH the plane and they can cook together.

    It could have been worse. Good job you removed the wooden handle before baking it.

    A nice mint sauce goes with the lamb but what goes with a well done Stanley plane?

    Maybe chips go with a Stanley. You could try baking the plane in a bar-b-que, if you have one.

    A boss once told me if I was looking for sympathy, I'd find it in the dictionary between S**t and Syp***is

    Seeing I'm on number 3, I could say that life is better without one. Well, maybe not better, but certainly a lot more peaceful.
