Hi everyone! Just very quick midweek catch-up this week - head down and grafting!

TL;DR - Robin Clevett chat out this Friday, Triton Doweller next week, Undermount drawer runners after that, then maybe Birch ply alternatives, and 'fix your doweller with masking tape'. Busy, busy!

Catch you at the weekend. Peter
