this is hard and not wanting to get anyone in the photo but does men's shed have standards in machine quality etc.
case in point last week I took some used Oregon boards 25 x 140 x 1800 down to a men's shed near me to use their thicknesses.
I've been several times before but not to join the chitchat, rather use whatever I needed and get out. Too many old farrts not knowing what they are doing and tripping over their walking frames. I get it that it's a place to get together but I have a job to do, get in get it done and out.
After an hour I was asked to stop using the thicknesses due to the noise I (it) was creating. no wonder I could have used a hand razor to get more off. the thing was as blunt as aunt maudes chest.
So I threw in the towel, drove over to Adelaide (8 hours) bought a new spiral head 330mm thicknesses.
yes I've spent couple if delightful days with grandkids etc
But should the afor mentioned thicknesses be in a usable condition?
