Great people and an amazingly creative event.

Sunday we went to see the second Kingsman in the franchise.

I'm afraid the critics were right.

Monday was a public holiday so I was finally able to make a start on reconditioning the windows.

Just about all day went on tidying up and preparing the work area.

I need my table saw ready to use to create the pine wedges used to reassemble a window.

I also need my grinding stone accessible to repair the grevious damage I have inflicted on my best chisel.

I then proceeded to inflict the same damage by using the chisel to remove some very hard putty from the last sash window I had been working on several months ago.

Towards the end of the day I managed to clean up one of the sashes quite well.

I will just need to finish it off with a minimal amount of manual sanding.

I am stripping these back to bare wood as I am sure they have many coats of lead paint.

I now just have small traces of paint and manual sanding will release very little lead.

Monday to Friday
