Any pics?

looks a bit untidy to me?? (Quote Gumbud)Agreed and thank you for the compliment Gummy.
Of course it’s untidy, it’s a shed! and a man’s shed at that, I wouldn’t have it any other way, that’s the part where I work, the rest of it is piled with junk especially where I do the polishing. A clean tidy shed is an unproductive shed, it's a case of the end result justifies the means. You’d want to see some of the “Workshops” I worked in over the years, and all owned by wealthy people.
The leather skin hanging under the bench is to collect the ‘Lemel’ which means the filings of precious metals, when I’ve collected the equivalent of a jam jar full of these filings I parcel them up securely and send them off by registered post to Hatton Garden where they are refined and I receive a decent cheque for the extracted contents, a nice little side earner.
I visited the refinery back in the 1980’s, a fascinating process and all done with various acids.
I wonder how RJ is doing, I hope he's OK.
I still can’t get over the marvels of the Limpet. Would you believe the little fella has teeth on a conveyor belt system? when one set wears out another set just slot in! His body is making teeth all the time so he never goes gummy, wouldn’t it be great if genetic engineering could harness that trick for humans?

There was a warning on the way in that some sort of commercial video was being made, don't know if it was for the tele.
