I have a Morso guillotine, it’s dead on accurate producing perfect mitre joints. It was designed to make picture frames, and has a large capacity. If you’ve priced up picture frame stock you will realise that accuracy and right first time are essential. The blades stay sharp on mine for ever. I...

There are in my small bit of research three types of glazing you can have in bifolds (I have three banks of bifolds in my workshop) each with increasing sound reduction qualities. First off is double glazing, next is double glazing with sound deadening glass (just slightly worse than triple...

Today I’ve fulfilled a dream I’ve had for a few years, to own a ‘proper’ drill sharpener. I’ve been looking for a few years for a quality secondhand sharpener at a price that only made my toes curl rather than for an arm and a leg. With @Sideways help we collected a Christen 2-32 machine which...

The easy test I was suggested I try to ensure the boiler is working in condensing mode is for the flue to be generating a nice white cloud immediately it comes out of the flue and for water to form on your hand if you stick it in front of it. If there is no flume or the cloud forms away from the...

I decided to get in an expert to have a look at the heating system, and he’s turned everything I thought I knew on the subject on its head. I now have the boiler running efficiently and not short cycling. I had been turning the flow temperature down to 55C. However, the boiler is designed to be...

I came across this interesting video on how they make their saws.

There are used and abused machines, so when buying just check the run out. As long as the quill isn’t bent, bearings are easy to replace and just a consumable item.

I’d be looking for a Startrite Mercury or a Meddings, both secondhand.

You really do need a history lesson.

That’s is unfortunately the wrong question. One side is fighting a holly war a Jihad, there is no logic, or indeed rational when your motive is a belief founded on a hope to become a martyr and go to paradise. The other side is fighting for the right to exist, to avoid being exterminated, a...

The only core drill that is required is a hole to clear the centre of the 17mm drill bit. If you look at the centre where the two flukes come together you will see an area that cannot drill. You just need a pilot hole to clear it. The second consideration is tge power if your drill. If it’s...

Lebanon / Hezbolla has now declared that nobody in the world is safe against their terrorist arracks. Just wonderful. Another Muslim terrorist organisation running around blowing themselves and loads of innocent civilians up. I’m sure the anti Israeli supporters will see it as totally justified...

Hamas and Palestine does and has used children as weapons of war. There have been documented circumstances of babies being dressed in secure vests. For me, that puts into perspective children being shot. The perspective that children are all inoccent bystanders is simply not true. Unfortunately...

@Jacob, I think you’ve a really valid point, the population of Gaza is exploding. In 2000 it was a smidge over 1 million, in 1990 about 650K. The mean age of people in Gaza in 2020 was just 18, they are one of lowest aged populations in the world, in other words their numbers are absolutely...

It’s worth mentioning the Isreal has circa 9 million citizens, 7 million Jews, 2 million Arabs and 500k others, all of whom vote for their government. It’s a democratic state with everyone having equal rights, ie all religions / sexual preferences / ***’s. The Israeli president Mosche Katsav was...

@Stanleymonkey there are circa 2 million people on Gaza, and the UN has given circa $40 billion in the last twenty years. Thats more than sufficient to build enough electrical generation and water desalination to make them Independant of Isreal with a huge amount left over. Thats not including...

@Fergie 307 there is an awful lot I agree with in your post. Isreal has only since its creation has only expanded its controlled land following attacks / war declared upon it such as the Yom Kippur war led by Egypt and Syria in October 73. Gaza was ‘given’ to Palestine by Isreal in a peace deal...

I agree, that why they have published video footage of each find of the Gaza metro and arms cashes in / under sensitive infrastructure as they knew the world would be sceptical. To the best of my knowledge none of the western countries have found their videos to be a hoax. I equally can’t think...

I’d love to read the article your referencing, I’ve read a huge amount about it. Most of the alleged crimes the UN claim are around military action against hospitals and schools etc…..but fail to clarify that these have been found to be Hamas bases / entrances to their tunnel network. Hamas...

In 1993, as part of the Oslo Accords, the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel agreed to an outline for Palestinians to self-govern in the Palestinian territories. In 1994, Israel withdrew from Gaza City and Jericho, giving civilian and city functions to the Palestinian Authority. Call...
