I've been looking at the various Heathkit bits I can find on line and it all looks very professional and would look at home in professional labs. I like their kit, and now have 3 items[emoji106]
From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]

Now it's fixed, I can use it to make a proper rip fence for my huge-arse table-saw; got me some old bed frames to cut up for angle iron. >:D

Oh, and my Keto diet is going gangbusters as well. Averaging 20 grams/day without suffering too much at all; sometimes even have enough left over for a little morsel of dark chocolate as a bedtime treat. 8)

Craftsman Model 113; 10"/3HP. Cast iron deck, with both cast iron extensions. Weighs almost as much as a mnem. :-DD
Here's a pic of its huge arse (and mine) from when I was cutting hardwood for my "recycled from and with recycled" patio chair project. :o I think I posted about this project before.

However I watched Force Awakens last night and it wasn’t actually that bad. Might go and see Solo. Dead pool 2 this Friday though. I hit the cinema on my own on Friday mornings every alternate week. Costs £5 and there isn’t anyone there to piss me off :D
On the subject of diets, I eat anything that moves or did move until I cooked it. But I walk a lot. I’ve walked nearly as many miles as I’ve driven in the last two years.

What I was getting at is that fleeting diets don't work. The only thing that works and consistently works is changing your habits. That's the one thing people hate to do and often outright refuse, so people choose to fool themselves with all kinds of miracle cures. They torture themselves for a month or so believing this will fix their woes. This time it really will!
We know what works. We've known for years. Eat decent and varied. Burn the same amount of calories you eat and a little more if you want to lose weight. That means moving your butt. That's it. The trick is to apply it consistently. Even drastic measures like a gastric band are based on the same principles, it just pretty much forces you to cooperate.

As with all things, its not that simple. I grew up on a farm; I've always been a do-er, working with my hands and spending days at a time in the wilderness surrounding the family farm. That all changed when I blew out my back around age 30. Spent 3 months bedridden and literally having to crawl to the bathroom on hands & knees. Several back surgeries later and I found myself with limited mobility; able to stand at most about an hour a day.
Ever since then has been a constant battle; several years of caring for my mom while she lost the battle with cancer and several more fighting the resultant depression left me where I am now; clawing my way back to a normal body. I consider myself lucky; I'm able to do most of the things I used to do for short periods, and I can usually handle about 2-4 hours vertical without too much misery. Well, the misery is still there; my pain threshold is much higher than most would consider reasonable. Let's just say pain and I are old friends. ;) I've re-injured my back and had to spend a month or two bedridden recovering 3 times since the original injury.
Keto diet (AKA Hypo-Glycemic diet) is the only one that has ever worked for me; I've been borderline hypo-glycemic most of my adult life. I got down to within 20 lbs of my fighting weight :box: and kept it there for years on a 10-20 gram a day diet before and after I met my wife. On top of the usual chores I make myself walk 1/2 mile around the local park every other day to raise my base metabolism, and I try to stay on the diet.
Like everyone, I fall off the diet from time to time. But eventually it'll become the lifestyle change it needs to be. I find that key is to write it down in my exercise log; keeps me honest with myself. :-+
While these are the reasons for me being grossly overweight, they aren't an excuse. Life is made up of challenges; it is up to us to overcome.

Similar situation finished my father off. You’re doing awesome considering the shit you’ve been through. His started when he fell over a knee height chain link fence in the dark.

Who the f*** even puts up such a thing? That is downright pernicious, sociopathic even if put up anywhere near a populated area; a proper booby-trap.
And I know such things; I'm the booby who always sets them off. :-DD

Please don't tell me it was your father... :palm:
