 |  Mr NeatPaint went to W8 with a new friend......to help Mohammed; Paul is Paul Murphy, his KTP Associate – more of which another time - who started working for him less than one week before W8. Visitors were interested by Mr NeatPaint’s and Mr Bendy MDF’s samples – painted panels of all kinds in various finishes and primed, which are the very products that Paul specialises in – NeatForm and NeatFlex, the multi-grooved sheets of MDF which are made to be formed into curved products – NeatMatch, the MDF board in full sheet size which clads walls and ceilings and makes them look like old fashioned tongue and groove – and NeatRout, the MDF sheets which have been perforated by a multiheaded routing machine to screen this and that, eg radiators and other unsightlinesses. |
| Neat Concepts has a new website (at the same old address)... |  |
| ...www.neatconcepts.com. It is there for you to dive into. Imagine when you do so that you are diving into the azure warm water of an infinity pool looking at the horizon where cloudless sky meets calm blue sea. This is what you can expect when you click the mouse. At least that is what Mr Bendy MDF thinks of it. The other thing which is infinite is the amount of nurturing it requires. |
| The garden shed – James Murray, schoolmaster... |
| ...at Mill Hill, London - called his garden shed a “Scriptorium” in which he continued the good work of Samuel Johnson, who had published the first modern dictionary in 1775. In 1878 Mr Murray beavered away at his new dictionary in his corrugated iron shed, not the smart one he would buy today with its lining of Neatmatch and Vapour Control insulation. Oh no! But his Scriptorium was even more splendid than modern man could possibly imagine because The Post Office put a letter box outside it to receive the torrent of new words which arrived every day! The “New English Dictionary” as this first edition of The Oxford English Dictionary was called took 49 years to write and our hero didn’t last long enough to see it! Can you suggest yet more names for the garden shed which is likely to become an icon for our hard-pressed times? Along with loft conversions. |
| For hard times: Ray Croc the original Mr McDonald (of Hamburger)... |
| ...hangs on his wall this anonymous quotation: “Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Press on!” Or put succinctly by WSC: “KBO”! |
| Another veneered Neatmatch enters centre stage... |
| ...Veneered Walnut Neatmatch. Last month Mr Bendy MDF announced to the world that he has Oak Veneered Neatmatch where the profile is cut into a solid wood inlay. Both products are profiled G417. And now he has a sample of a solid oak NeatMatch with “V” groove profile. |
