Still contemplating going on Sunday, @Blackswanwood was the stall there selling Bessy clamps as I want a feel. Also want to take a look at the worlds most expensive biscuit joiner and get some idea on the Tenso connectors, some say they are great but others like @petermillard don't seem as...

No worse than the bunch of clowns we have, did Starmer not put all his people into good jobs ! What happens when / if Trump does turn America around and is successful , it might make people realise that his way works and we need that here in the uk rather than all the nonsense we currently...

Blame the uk economy, it shows we must be worse off now than years ago because our money is not worth as much, remember it is not what you earn but what it can buy that matters.

But what are people using them for ? What can anyone be looking at for twenty five minutes whilst sitting in a cafe with freinds who are being ignored . These things have become the centre of attention and everyone seems to be holding onto them as if life ceases without them. Could this be...

Not if you fold time because then you have warp drive !

But once upon a time mummy did not have to go to work and spent her time bringing up the kid or kids and would sit down and watch childrens Tv with them and then the Tv went off and you went out and played with real friends or walked down the shops with mum as dad used the car for work and mum...

When you are already on the Pc writing code for DSP algorithms it makes a nice break from the slog !

Correct, a smart phone is similiar in behavior to a cat in that they take control and you become their servant. Odd thing is that I have always worked in technology, electrical / electronics and other engineering fields and kept as far as possible work and living separate but these phones...

If that was the case then why are there not more clever people around ! Everyone is just staring at phone screens, you have to feel sorry for young kids who are just ignored because mum is busy on her phone, couples not talking because they are both on there phones and it is a social disease...

What might also be a bad for our climate and the enviroment that has not been mentioned is that sad old device called a smart phone. It takes people out of the real world and isolates them from their surroundings so they have no interest in nature or wildlife so no interest in the climate...

Yes I saw that but noticed they do not cut the flutes . These ones do https://www.findbuytool.com/collections/domino-router-cutters/products/router-bits-for-festool-df700-domino-tenons-3pcs

A new lever clamp in the market that I had not seen before from Microjig and sold by Woodworkers workshop. and a video which shows they have a little spring to hold the clamp where you left it rather than it just fully opening.

That is a complete disaster in the making, if you cannot have a gas boiler then the best option is either an extremely well insulated property with thick walls which means far fewer builds on a given plot and much more expensive or some form of solid fuel burner be it a woodburner or some form...

How good are you with electrical systems ? You can use movement sensors inside the workshop which would trigger a sounder but that is like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. What you want is to stop them breaking in, in the first place. Reinforce the door with cross bars and...

And this means you can cut dovetails that have the hand cut look .

But look at what is not from renewables, it sounds a lot and would be for many countries but China produces huge amounts of energy so still a lot of dirty energy and also places like India. To solve this global issue then it has to be done fully otherwise it is nothing more than putting out...

They already have, being a pre tensioned connector with no tool required means that unlike chocolate blocks they cannot be overtightened or come loose which has resulted in thermal events. A chocolate block never has or ever will be classed as maintenance free, getting rid of the need to...

Unfortunately that is best practice, as I said they do not have to be directly above the worktop and could be grouped using grid switches. A lot of washing machines have this feature built in, our Bosch allows us to set a time for it to start.

Now that is truly DIY nowadays, belongs in the same place as scotch locks !

Essentially the ceiling roses are replaced with jb's and instead of a T&E down to the switch you drop a three core & E . Now you use the Grey instead of the Blue for the neutral and Brown live with Black switched to light. The bonus is that we have Wago connectors and no longer need that...
