Despite an almost complete media blackout from spineless UK News Channels this film is now on the very cusp of 36 MILLION VIEWS. If it’s ruffling this many feathers now just imagine when it hits 50 million. Let’s keep going!

These are the stories that we love This Havannah sofa was made in 1999 for @neil_freeman_ This week we re-upholstered it using the original beech frame. When sustainability is so important its great to see that 22 years later we can revitalise a product #happycustomer #madetolast

We were really glad to see that not only were ob&b still around but thriving and still in Birmingham. The sofa had endured three children over the 22 years and is a testament to the quality of the products the company produce. #buybritish #madeinbirmigham #sustainability

Is there anyone in south Birmingham or Redditch area that can recommend a good saw blade sharpening company. Have a few to get done and the company I used is no longer there. Thanks

@MartinSLewis There will always be negative people so best ignored. On a happier note just saved nearly £20/month off virgin broadband/ tv & phone thanks to you so keep it up👍

@McKaskell Love the details on this!👏

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@McKaskell Thanks I’ll look them up

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@McKaskell Really like that Chris. What make are the hinges. I’ve a possible kitchen with a hidden door into a utility where I could maybe use them. Also are the grey doors a laminate or sprayed? Thanks

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@woodfashioner @MyMorrells Thanks I’ll have a look👍

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

Just quoting on a curved reception desk. I’ve seen people on here using spray contact adhesive for doing curves with mdf and veneer. Anyone have any recommendations for a good one to buy? Thanks

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@empirejoiner @WOODTECHIOM Did wonder about the overspray😱

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@WOODTECHIOM Howdens! That’s a surprise. Have to give them a call. Found the ostermanns catalogue and they have the kit in there. Need to get the job first mind🙏🏼

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@WOODTECHIOM Thanks. Good shout, I hadn’t thought about them, think I have their catalogue here somewhere. Friday night sorted! Have a good weekend👍

@RJWCrafts Have a look at isotunes. They’re meant for trade use and I’m looking to get some as a less bulky option to my normal Stihl Bluetooth ear muffs.

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@madebygregcox Too right. Then you go for rock steady birch ply and you can end up with a pringle😱

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

Anyone else get this with MDF of any type. Rip down the length with the track saw and then butt them up and there’s a 1.5mm -2mm gap in the middle with both ends touching. Sometimes it’s worse sometimes it’s not too bad. Just wondering

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@Biggscarpentry @SealeyFurniture Cheers. Thought it was just me!

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@Cutlistboards @HackneyTools Had a few of them! By the way I have an enquiry for Xylocleaf Mosaico in Clear (FB45) and Metalizzato (FB35) on 18mm board. Do you cover their range? I'll need it all cut and edged. Thanks

[neil freeman design @neil_freeman_]

@SealeyFurniture Agree. Had one board today out of 5 that was fine!
