The lathe is fixed

It only took John a day to repair his lathe! What a hero! He just took it apart peacefully, and put it back together again happily, and no more clunka-clunka.

We have been back at work putting an interior plywood cladding all over, trying to make noticeable  progress before Uncle George arrives on Valentine's Day to lend his support. I've blown the USB port on my computer, so I now need a different approach to uploading my pictures of all this progress, but any day now!
