Interesting test, this is me! Just a smidge right of centre where I thought I was.

I find it intriguing that India has landed on the moon with a budget of £75 million, and NASA latest mobile launch tower has a budget of $1 billion and it’s latest space suit a mere $3.5 billion whilst Artemis (moon rocket) is way over budget and looking like costing €13.5 billion. Somebody...

@Jacob, Come on, you must have a list of countries where socialism has improved its citizens life? Surely there must be numerous examples given all the virtues of socialism. Like many others I will be an instant convert to socialism upon seeing evidence that it does create a better, equal...

I’m going to extend the challenge to include major cities, since it appears naming a Country is too hard. I know we have superb examples of well run (this is irony) Democrat cities in the USA like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York to name but three where crime is running a mock since they took...

@TRITON Anywhere at any time. Regime change by the USA included. Atlantis is excluded😂

I see the passion and conviction of our left wing friends in their contributions so please convince me of why I should be a socialist. First off, there must be after over a century of struggle at least one socialist country that stands out as an example of the benefits that the ideology will...

I just wish the anti royal brigade would take the time and look into the costs of a president versus a monarchy. So, taking France, the cost of Emanual is the same as our royals on an annual basis. We in the UK don’t have the added costs of protecting ex presidents, or providing them with a...

@Jacob OMG, we agree on something🥳🥳🥳🥳

I have to say that with a budget of just £73 million, they have achieved an unbelievable success. Well done India. I just wish they had spent it on their own population to help banish the huge poverty in their country. The UK would not then have a need to send £33.4 million aid this financial...

Have a read of the following restoration @Sideways and I did, it goes through everything you should look for in a bandsaw to ensure you buy a hood one. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/scm-minimax-s45-bandsaw-teardown-overhaul.135069/

Yep, that’s me!

My error🥴 I’d get a rebate block it an adjustable groover and stack them with a profile block or two. Gives complete flexibility. But you can just do it with a custom cutter in a profile block

The CMT block you referenced is for making cabinet doors not external doors which I think your suggesting, what type of doors exactly are you looking to make?

Yep, didn’t want damp rising up the walls / affecting the floor.

Had the same type of floor in my last house an old Chapel, it wasn’t screed, and a little digging soon got me down to the earth. Had to dig it all out and install a proper floor, hard core, sand, DPM, insulation, DPM and then concrete.

Why don’t you just get a set of cutters made out of say carbide if you’re into MDF made for a standard profile block? A carbide set of say 50mm custom cutters and limiters is c£140. HSS is around £55. Alternatively Whitehill do cutters, but I now find having my own custom cutters made to be more...

I’ve done a few at my last house, chisel, bull nose and chisel plane are your friend. Router takes out as close to the corners as possible, and then break out the hand tools. It’s very quick if you’re adept with hand tools.

I choose not to restore morticers, because the cost of doing it versus the price you can ask means you lose money! Taking a Sedgwick as an example, to do it properly you would stripped it down, removed all the paint and powder coated it (originally they are sprayed with machine enamel paint...

I used to be the i.diot (still an i.diot) that was the MD of Lem Heme when David stepped up to Chairman.

I’d personally look out for one like this
