Just as a bit of fun, what beverage do you take to your workshop (kitchen table, etc.) A nice glass of red ? A real ale ? Maybe a coffee or an Earl Grey ?

Daytime for me it's a nice cup of coffee (Nescafe Gold Blend usually) but in the evening it's glass of wine. A Pinot Grigo tonight, but usually a nice red.

How about you folks ?

Rocket fuel for the synapses, especially when mixed with Vodka (to dilute the Absinthe) and Red Bull.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Note: Fingers and Thumb, all present and correct. I attribute this to not mixing modeling and drinkies, especially when working with sharp blades and high speed, whirly tools.

'bubbly' a much overrated beverage .. mundane wine with bubbles!

My choice when finished would be cask-strength Laphroaig with just a hint of still water.

Well
I don't start any work before 11pm when everybody at home is in bed and it is nice and quiet (my wife doesn't know about my little modelling yet because I want to surprize her when my hull is complete) so when I'm ready I usually have whiskey with coke and ice or just Jameson's on rocks. It doesn't help with fiddly parts but - I didn't start propper build yet anyway BigGrin
When serious planking kicks in I'll be having water only BigGrin
