Terry had given me a little cheap low-powered one that I tried, but that was a thankless task. There wasn&#8217;t enough power to work the blade properly and we ended up with a scorched surface where the heat from the blade had singed the wood. In the end, the ancient Scorpion electric saw was put to use and although that struggled a little, it did the job.<\/p>\n<p>So after I don&#8217;t know how long, the other worktop for the top of the <em>beichstuhl<\/em> was cut to shape, and it&#8217;s a much better fit than the first effort, and looks so much nicer too.<\/p>\n<p>To cut out the trap for the container of the <em>beichstuhl<\/em> I resorted to the circular saw, trimming off with the Scorpion, and that&#8217;s also a much better job than the previous one<\/p>\n<p>To cut out the hole, I had to trace a line around the lunette of the toilet seat, drill out the angles and then go and find my box of jigsaw blades &#8211; no easy task. However I did eventually find them and I&#8217;ve cut out the hole (3 blades later). It needs trimming off but that&#8217;s a job for tomorrow as it was quite late when I knocked off.<\/p>\n<p>I had a late start &#8211; that&#8217;s why nothing was finished. I&#8217;ve been working on the radio programmes &#8211; in particular the rock programmes &#8211; for Radio Anglais this morning. I need to push on and try my best to get ahead while I am still here. I&#8217;ll be off to Canada before too long. Time is closing in.<\/p>\n<p>And what a gorgeous day today. Not a cloud in the sky, 33.3\u00b0C temperature, water in the solar shower at 38.5\u00b0C and the temperature in the dump load going off the scale at 14:00. In the end I had to drain out 10 litres of hot water and put in 10 litres of cold in an effort to keep the temperature manageable.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be like this for the weekend too apparently. That will be nice.   <\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-4230 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='4230' data-nonce='5188def254' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-4230 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-4230 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='4230' data-nonce='5188def254' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-4230 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-4230 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; about those worktops being made of oak, you just ask the jigsaw.
