Living dangerously can be fun. Living stupidly ... not so much.

Reply to Anyone remember when Doc’s were still being made in England? I bought these in the mid 90’s I think. Is the quality still any good? by Unhallowedhopes
If you want a decent pair of boots in a similar style to that, search for trickers, Crockett and Jones or Grenson. They are super high quality English shoe makers which can be re soled. Shame about the anecdotes people tell about doc martens. My mother in law is always trying to get me to buy them even though I have a pair of crocket and jones which are far superior

I have a similar one that must be a similar age. No fancy electrics, just plug it in and go.

Furniture village has tables like this in the UK. Ceramic topped so they are hard wearing and heat resistant. My table... https://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/arctic-extending-dining-table/ACTIDT--WHT-001.html?istCompanyId=32a7a394-6440-4007-a75f-7a392507ff63&istFeedId=a8d02b98-5516-4467-a214-60ec0674ed5e&istItemId=ialmqitxl&istBid=t&landing=true&_$ja=tsid:%7ccid:19033675916%7cagid:%7ctid:%7ccrid:%7cnw:x%7crnd:10608731000113588968%7cdvc:m%7cadp:%7cloc:1006741&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=19033675916&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY3pbZxZAAtBJ4s8qq7vf1_6Ug4UnBkcYcQjRo_qxMiWPjSM_WCGUC4aAngWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Stupid question:
As long as you wash them and done abuse them, do any of these “go bad” so to speak? How do they typically fail?

>Couldn't you put something inside the back wall to give it the support you're looking for?
I guess I could. But at the same time I feel that if I'm already investing in a quality bag then I wouldn't want to DIY it. It is a good Idea though.
>Or are you looking for something akin to a waiststrap for back support?
No, just some extra padding.

My working single mom made many dinners this way. Us latchkey kids would come home, she might leave us instructions - add / check / adjust knob setting ... that was it 'till she got home, then ... dinner.

My safety razor. It's a 1955 Gillette Super Speed that I bought in 2015, and use it every few days, obviously. I actually have a lot of vintage items, but none have seen as much use by me as my razor.
Correction: my oldest possession which sees constant use is actually my "unbreakable" carbon comb that I bought new sometime between '09-'11. Now that I use daily.

Probably my Estwing framing hammer. The first quality tool I ever owned. Had it since I was 14 so almost 30 years old. Saw plenty of professional use in my 20s and 30s now it's semi- retired. Used it today break up some concrete while doing some plumbing in my basement.
