Off out to get some filler
I'll have a go at the grill and do it by eye, if it looks right then it is right, series men can measure it if they like or maybe put sign up saying 'No Measuring'

Just put a sign "built to LR tolerances no measuring tapes required"

.

If it looks right(ish), most will accept it.

I looked at where WA2 is, bit of a trek to Gaydon from there!
Best of luck, as you say, if it looks right it is right!

Blonde joke warning! (Don't be offended please!)

Wot is the difference between a blonde and a supermarket trolley?
A supermarket trolley has a mind of its own.

OK.
So we just received a Christmas present!

Yep, Christmas.

Our middle dottir asked us if we had thanked our grandson for his present. "Wot present ?" sez us. (This is the one who lives on the Scottish island.) So she must have contacted him.

The present consisted of a nice bott of malt, Glenglassaugh, 50% no less! :vb-banana:

But also of two packs, one of "drinks" and one of pills. containing Vitamins A and C and Zinc. Trade name is "Truvivity".
W has checked and they are REALLY expensive if you buy them in the wrong place. Together more expensive than the Malt. :stars:

But WHYYYYYYYYY?????????
W's skin is fantastic for her age. She has never worn make up as she never needed to and has always been taken for being about 10 years younger than she is.
I on the other hand suffer with folliculitis, but I wasn't aware that he knew. :stars:

He and his partner make videos for all sorts of people and businesses. Wondering if he got them as a freebie.

And his "partna" is male so, who knows, maybe they both have fantastic skins!!!

But this takes the Huntley and Palmers for weird presents!!

Prolly the one built by Edd China. His book (Grease Junkie) describes the making of it and all the others, places and objects that can be driven, the sofa, the office desk, etc etc. The book is a good read and explains why he left Wheeler Dealers and it wasn't for the reasons others have given.

Afternoon, first cut of the garden done. B&q had 10% off and somehow I walked out with tomato plants, strawberry plants and more compost.

Now making more planters

What are you using to measure, you need to be using a good Vernier as you have already said what diff 1mm makes.
You are close to original LR tolerances though

J

Using vernier, used it to measure a 50 scale model for my little truck, worked out pretty good but not easy to measure small detail.
Luckily the 107 is slab sided and easy to do in ply

Done a bit of plumbering today n used one of them pipe freeze kits & chopped the pipes to put isolating valves in.
Great bits of kit worked a treat.
