Used to do antiques, restoration and then made furniture long ago now. Good laugh and war.

A little tip Jess. If you make something nice................somebody will buy it. It could be totally useless. But if somebody likes it they will buy it.

Tell her f**k all Norman, remember, knowledge is power.
Mind you she does have access to casting plaster, which probably trumps any knowledge you have.

Can't argue, but it makes it clearer if you put the 'needs' on the end of your sentence.

Sorry I forgot you needed greater clarity for your beautiful mind

That made me chuckle! I was a bit confused and then wrote you off as a mad person so didn’t reply !

To be fair if he were mad he'd fit in with the rest of us. I'll bet quite a few on here thought his post made perfect sense.

That’s a fair point

Good thing I’m on here to give the place a modicum if respectability

That would be great thanks! I have no fibrous background. I’ve just really enjoyed trying to learn a bit and I love my workshop it’s a lovely place to be! If I can sell some stuff so it pays for itself then great! This is the Antiques Village where it’s

 

[JessThePlasterer]

That looks a bit smart and upmarket for a scruffy urchin like you.

It’s such a cool place! And yes I am by far the scruffiest person there!

But then I’m the scruffiest person anywhere, I can’t help it! Went out tonight. Actually used a hairdryer and makeup etc. Got to Chorlton. Walked down the road. The heavens burst open on me! By the time I got to the bar I looked like I’d been for a swim! Girl at the bar looked at me and said ‘oh no!!!!’ Rather than ‘what can I get you?’
