Thicknesser. It sounds like one of those beauty salon hair treatments. ;D

It's supposed to be a present for this Christmas, not next Christmas.

Rik, let's put in foodie terms ;) .  A thicknesser is like a combined pasta maker and mandolin.  When you make pasta, you want the dough to be thin so the pasta machine squeezes it thinner.  Of course, you can't squeeze wood thinner so a blade whirrs round as the wood is fed in and chips away excess wood.  I've already got one of each of those ( a pasta maker, a mandolin and a thicknesser) but I've yet to get them muddled up :) .

I'd like to see the thicknesser after a load of pasta. ;D

It's arrived!!!



But the courier hadn't been instructed to take the thicknesser away, so we've still got that .

Guess what?  The same courier came back at the end of his round.  He had found his instructions to collect the thicknesser.

Honestly, there's a phrase about organising events in breweries that springs to mind.  It's all sorted now though :) .  Roll on Christmas .

I believe it's six years, isn't it Rik?  Unless you write to the company and tell them you will claim ownership unless they have removed it within 28 days.

Unsolicited Goods Act 1952, I think, Gill. Provided you've notified them, if they fail to collect in six months, the goods become yours - or you can charge storage.

I thought I'd let you know what the lathe looks like, so I've attached a piccy :) .

Ain't it gorgeous?  :wub:

My hubby is going to lend me some of his gouges and has promised to teach me the basics of how to use it tomorrow.
