Looking forward to seeing that. Keep us pictured up! I used this stuff (recommended on here) for my light oak worktop, brought it back to new!
Also make a 4" chopping board just for limes and lemons especially if you like to make drinks. Saves on cleaning up the larger one and much easier to handle and store. I use SuGRU moulding stuff for the feet on mine as once applied and it sets it is waterfproof and raises it enough off the counter to stop the base getting wet or not drying properly.

Some boxes of USB powered LED 'strings' from Lidl. They are billed as TV Backlight Kits but I've got an idea that I can use them to MacGyver up some ambient / halo lighting over the bed board in the roof which is never actually used as a bed and stays up all the time that we're camped. Each box contains the 1M USB power cable, 4 x 450mm LED strands with sticky tape backing, 3 x 300mm interconnects, 3 x 10mm interconnects and a remote control which turns them on and dims as well changes the colour (15 modes) and whether they flash (4 modes!). All that for £6.99 each box - even if the experiment fails, that's still a bargain:

New discs and pads for the rear. Ordered from @Nutexa Frictions yesterday and they have just arrived. Can’t beat that for free delivery.
I won’t be doing a @Dellmassive write up, but I might stick a couple of pics on when I do them next week.
Just waiting for my oil filter to arrive from Opie and I can get all my van jobs done at once.

Behold my massive hard wood.
It's 40mm stuff, I would have liked 28mm but it was just to hard to find. The big piece is 1m by 700mm or so, that'll be getting cut down to an L shape of 650mm x 920mm with a 210mm x 440mm cut out.
Then the 2nd smaller bit will be used for a pull out table, 550mm x 400mm.
Insert multiple innuendos about oiling up my wood, etc etc.

Nice.
Is that an under bonnet led strip I see?
Fell at the first hurdle while attempting to fit my new Qwork horn.
I needed to remove the nasty springy bracket for my soon to be removed nasty Noddy horn.
To remove that you need a Torx T50 bit.
I have loads or Torx bits right up to a T40.
Amazon again to the rescue with these beauties!
£9.99 of pure quality...

Alternator charger kit for the Clayton installation.
I think I now have 'almost' everything I need to start the 230v / 12v installation in the van. Looking forward to getting it totally wrong and nothing working and paying a professional. @AJCConversions dont turn your phone off this weekend

Looks very hard too
Never mind that, you need a new avatar picYour wood is indeed very impressive.

dont forget to oil BOTH sides. I would have recommend Skydd from IKEA however seems it is no longer produced. Personally not a fan of Danish oil, however if you do use danish oil make sure you unscrumple the cloth and lay it flat as they have a tendency to self combust if scrunched upBehold my massive hard wood.

Yeah I will do, the large bit has a slight bow to it but it's probably just been stored upright next to other bits, doesn't seem to hard to get that out.
I'm going to use this stuff for coating it, seems to be highly recommend and a bit harder wearing than danish oil.
Whenever I use Danish, I tend to put the cloth in a plastic bag, add enough water to soak it, tie the top tight and bin it.
That’s a very serious piece of equipment! Absolutely brilliant cameras. I used the 120 film version while working in a studio in the 90’s.
I’m using a Nikon D850 now and an Olympus Pen F.
