AAARRRGGHHH!!!! Am I EVER going to get to start Torching???????

[Fruddy]

Well, tonight was going to be the night - everything sorted in the shedio - worktops tiled, grouted and cleaned, lights and stool in, glass rods arranged in kilner jars, annealing bubbles at the ready, carbon monoxide alarm working, gas bottle bought - oxy at the ready....... All I was waiting for is hubbers to drill two bloody holes in my workbench, screw my Minor to it and I was for the off!

Believe me, I have waited months for this moment, as patiently as I can, but tonight I lost the plot.

30 seconds after starting to drill the first hole, his sodding drill burnt out!



Gutted doesn't even comeclose - I stamped off back to the house in a foul mood.

Anyway, Lee arranged to borrow his dad's drill tomorrow night so maybe..... just maybe.....tomorrow will be the night instead eh?

Positive vibes please guys!  I know its petty and childish, but I have spent all day at work today longing for this evening, thinking that I was finally going to start.

Anyway, took a couple of photos of my setup - will post them tomorrow when I get to work!

Sorry for the whinge!

wasn;t allowed

[Dragonfire Glass]

I'm pretty sure it was just as safe stting there not screwed in. Tell him not to be such a wuss 

[julieHB]

I use a clamp too 

[Lilley]

Yep, I have a clamp.  My torch is on top of an old dining room table with protection over it.  Didn't want it permanently fixed as sometimes it's useful to be able to have the table back for stained glass work.
